Who became a war hero after the battle of new orleans

It was Andrew Jackson.  He stopped the British during the Battle of New Orleans with the help of American soldiers, Kentucky frontiersmen, Native American Indians, Blacks from the Sto. Domingo Free Men of Color and pirates led by Jean Lafitte.  He fortified the Rodriguez Canal.  The British commanded by Sir Edward Pakenham failed to breach the American lines and the Americans used sharpshooters to inflict large casualties on the British forces.  Penkham died and an estimated 2,000 of his troops were either killed, missing, or wounded.
