The British plan to attack General Andrew Jackson's position during the Battle of New Orleans involved a direct frontal assault on the American defensive line.

The British planned a direct frontal assault on General Andrew Jackson's defensive position during the Battle of New Orleans. Underestimating the strength of the American fortifications, British forces, led by General Edward Pakenham, advanced across open ground toward Jackson's troops. The Americans, protected by trenches and earthworks, unleashed devastating artillery and rifle fire, causing heavy British casualties. The frontal assault was poorly coordinated and failed to breach the American lines. This disastrous attack ultimately led to the British retreat, marking a decisive American victory in one of the final battles of the War of 1812.
