Overview

In this video, students learn about Andrew Jackson. Believe it or not, the Battle of Orleans was not the time Drew Brees and the Saints finally won their Super Bowl. It was an actual battle, with an actual general at the helm--Andrew Jackson. He was a military hero and more. He threw very few interceptions to boot.
