Civilians of New Orleans

Throughout our conversations with the civilians we learned about the many ways that they aided the soldiers guarding the city of New Orleans. They rolled linens to make bandages for Catholic nuns to tend to the wounded. We also learned of a letter from Gen. Andrew Jackson to the citizenry. It stated that no British soldier would occupy the city as an enemy unless it was over his dead body.
