What pirate played a major role in the defense of New Orleans in 1814?
Correct answer: Jean Lafitte
Longarms
without Jean Lafitte, there is a good possibility that the Battle of New Orleans would have been lost. General Andrew Jackson appreciated the help of the pirate, Jean Lafitte.

Diver Dan, The help the French gave us is one of the things that led to the French Revolution. Between the monarchs heavy spending and the financial costs of helping America, France was almost bankrupt.

los lobos, we fired our guns and the British kept a coming, there wasn’t as many as there was a while a go. They ran through the swamp and they through the brimals, there wasn’t as many as there was a while ago. They ran so fast the hounds couldn’t catch them. To the Gulf of Mexico.

Player #1386132, Oh please don't pin that whole bankruptcy on the US. The French monarchy spending money on themselves was critical.
