Two interesting pictures and the Battle of New Orleans
Yesterday was Halloween and the spirits were walking in the middle of people. So this kind of thing might cause the effect, that everything seems weird, and if people are believing supernatural, they might see things, what they are not seen before, and one thing is that coincidences get new involving. The painting in this text is the painting, which was painted by Jean-Hyacinthe de Lacrotte, and the photograph what is taken in Southern Finland in the dark time shows that street lights have taken the same form, what the stars have taken in the painting, what Jean-Hyacinthe de Lacrotte has been painted, and that kind of thing is really interesting coincidence.
The name of the painter is interesting, and the second name of that man means Hyacinth, the flower, what people are taking to the graves at Christmas. So are those forms only coincidence, or are they made in purpose? That kind of thing is interesting things to think while being out in the dark. But I believe that those lights are in that certain form only because of an accident. But coincidences are interesting, and they make life easier and more interesting to live.
And if those lights have put on that form in purpose, that means that there must be some reason for that. So what is the legend of the Battle of New Orleans? History tells that the general Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson was the commander of the US troops in that battle in 1815. But was he the real commander? The thing is that in those days the truth was very hard to find out, and there is a possibility, that somebody has miswritten history in purpose. But that kind of thing is meanless in modern times.
There are also stories that Andrew Jackson got the British plans from some very high-ranking officers, who wanted to lose those men, who came to New Orleans in 1815 with the Major-General Pakenham. That battle was the begin of the U.S militarism, and the big British losses have put people to think that the reason for those losses was some kind of paper, which was in the hands of Jackson. The wildest theory is that Jackson was a time traveler, who used history books in his work but don't take those things so seriously.
The myth is that somebody saw that Jackson had strange papers with him, and there was the entire battle in that paper, but there is no proof for that thing. But this kind of thing is fascinating. And the thing that we might see on the Wikipedia page, what is linked below this text is that Packenham could continue his attack if he were not dead. Pakenham died in that battle, and that caused the British must change their plans. But somehow he has withdrawn after 350 dead and 1521 wounded and 552 missing or captured soldiers. Casualties of Jackson were 55 dead, 185 wounded and 93 missing soldiers (1).
Here I must say, that we must trust someway the historical writings, which means that the mystery remains. The thing is that the official history-writing must sometimes be enough, and that means that Andrew Jackson is the winner of the battle, but otherwise, we must say, that without that battle there would be very different USA, than what we see in the modern days.
