In the shadow of Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France

Andrew Jackson enters New Orleans in the shadow of Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France to snatch the city from France in 1815. βš”οΈ

Oh wait, he was actually defending the city from a British invasion. πŸ˜†πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Damn, I love history (and New Orleans).

Side note: this church had officially leveled up to cathedral rank 23 years prior.
