amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 1:33 pm Quick paragraph as to why Jackson was considered to have restored "The Nations Pride", Quote: The highlight of Jackson's military career was his victory over British forces at the Battle of New Orleans in January 1815. The British suffered more than 2,000 casualties while the American sustained six killed and 10 wounded. This victory helped to restore the nation's pride following the embarrassing White House torching by the British and the government's ignominious flight. Jackson emerged a national hero From: http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h154.html Report this Post to the Staff

dooly Valued Member United Kingdom 348 Posts	Posted 12/28/2013 11:56 am has now been identified The variety is Sullivan/DeWitt AJACK 1824-5. "The Nation's Pride" varieties are a bit scarcer than the pieces with "The Nation's Good" or "Hero of New Orleans" on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
