Swashbuckling adventurer Jean Lafitte was a pirate king. In 1814, he and his men all but owned and ran New Orleans. But when the British offered him $30,000 and a commission to help them attack the city, he refused. Instead he gave his help to the struggling young republic, America. With courage and conviction he fought with General Andrew Jackson and the American Army at the Bloody Battle of New Orleans.
