I was referring to the British landing, retard. No shit they didn't know, that's basic highschool history class 101.
The Brits, after burning down the Capitol and making moves on Maryland, decided halfheartedly to land in Louisiana. It was never a serious attempt with good reconnaissance and their baggage train immediately floundered because no one had had the foresight to adequately plan for an amphibious landing. Pakenham was already up shit creek by the time he made landfall, let alone before he knew he was going to have to fend off a ragtag band of backwoods crackers led by a man with a hatred for the British that burned so bright it could have lit up the entire battlefield.
