Mark Twain Quotes
Six Miles Below Town A Fat And Battered Brick Chimney, Sticking Above The Magnolias And Live-oaks, Was Pointed Out As The Monument Erected By An Appreciative Nation To Celebrate The Battle Of New Orleans
Jackson's Victory Over The British, January 8, 1815. The War Had Ended, The Two Nations Were At Peace, But The News Had Not Yet Reached New Orleans. If We Had Had The Cable Telegraph In Those Days, This Blood Would Not Have Been Spilt, Those Lives Would Not Have Been Wasted; And Better Still, Jackson Would Probably Never Have Been President. We Have Gotten Over The Harms Done Us By The War Of 1812, But Not Over Some Of Those Done Us By Jackson's Presidency.
