The Eighth was afederal holiday in the United States from 1828 until 1861 commemorating the U.S. victory in theBattle of New Orleans on January 8, 1815.

Origins

[edit]

The Eighth was celebrated widely across theSouthern United States after theWar of 1812. January 8 became an official federal holiday in 1828, followingAndrew Jackson's election as president and continued as such from that time until the start of theCivil War. The holiday remains largely forgotten by the American public.^[1]

According toThe Bryan (Ohio) Times article from January 4, 2005, the Battle of New Orleans was a "major turning point" in American history, but many people who live inNew Orleans did not even know that the battle happened in their city. As it was the final war waged against theUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, some consider it to be America's second independence.^[2] Historians recall the celebrations were larger than Christmas and were only surpassed byThe Fourth.^[3]
