after the crash; the one about it would have been your daughter's 13th birthday. That and some of the replies like from FORESTTIGER and 76er® were very touching. That probably would have been post of the day. I typed out a reply and hit Post and it wouldn't go through and Tnet wouldn't reopen. When I checked later, it was sadly unavailable. Prayers for the people who lost a child and/or a family member.

For some reason, I can't give OJ a TU.
After a gazillion tries, it finally worked.

208 years ago was the year 1815. As this intrepid reporter

stated yesterday, in one of the posts that was lost to the ether, the War of 1812 was actually ended by the Treaty of Ghent in late 1814. But, due to the slow travel of news in wartime, a major battle occurred in January 1815.
The British made a concerted effort to take the port of New Orleans. But, they were repulsed and defeated by US troops and a local force raised by General Andrew Jackson. This finally convinced Britain that trying to recapture those former US colonies would forever be a non-starter. So, they decided, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, and later became one of our staunchest allies.
Andrew Jackson, The Hero of New Orleans, would later parlay that political currency into becoming the 7th President of these United States.
Also in February 1815, the first American railroad charter was granted to an inventor named John Stevens. However, the proverbial steam wheels turned slowly, and he did not actually start his Camden and Amboy Railroad and Transportation Company until 1830.

Revolutionary War service
Sketch of a soldier preparing to strike a boy with a sword. The boy holds out his arm in self-defense.
The Brave Boy of the Waxhaws, colored lithograph published by Currier and Ives (1876 lithograph). Young Jackson defending himself against Major Coffin.
Jackson and his older brothers, Hugh and Robert, performed military service against the British during the Revolutionary War. Hugh served with Colonel William Richardson Davie, dying from heat exhaustion after the Battle of Stono Ferry in June 1779.[10] After anti-British sentiment intensified following the Waxhaws Massacre on May 29, 1780, Elizabeth encouraged Andrew and Robert to participate in militia drills.[11] They served as couriers and scouts,[12] and participated with Davie in the Battle of Hanging Rock on August 6, 1780.[13]
Andrew and Robert were captured in April 1781 when the British occupied the home of a Crawford relative. The British officer in command demanded to have his boots polished. Andrew refused, and the officer slashed him with a sword, leaving him with scars on his left hand and head. Robert also refused and was struck a blow on the head.[14] The brothers were taken to a prison camp in Camden, where they were malnourished and contracted smallpox.[15] In late spring, the brothers were released to their mother in an exchange.[16] Robert died two days after arriving home, but Elizabeth was able to nurse Andrew back to health.[17] Once he recovered, Elizabeth volunteered to nurse American prisoners of war housed in British prison ships in the Charleston harbor.[18] She contracted cholera and died soon afterwards. She was buried in an unmarked grave.[19] The war not only made Jackson an orphan at age 14,[20] but led him to despise values he associated with Britain, particularly aristocracy and political privilege.[21]
