Stub - probably enough information out there from other sources to move up to start class. Add infobox and some structure in the form of sections would help. Use footnotes to cite sources so each reference matches up with the facts given. Aboutmovies 20:32, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pakenham's plan of attack

Blogs, for the most part, are not seen as RS, but the following text resonated with me.

Surprisingly, the British were actually the ones facing the long odds at New Orleans. In a way, their assault on Chalmette Plantation was like their attack on Arnhem in World War II. They took an immense gamble and needed everything to go right, when, as things happened, everything went wrong. A carefully woven battle plan dissolved into a comedy of errors that played out in front of massed cannon and furious small-arms fire.
