The estimated American casualties during the Battle of New Orleans were around 50.

During the Battle of New Orleans, American forces under General Andrew Jackson experienced remarkably low casualties, with estimates of around 50 men either killed or wounded. In stark contrast, British losses were staggering, exceeding 2,000. The Americans' minimal casualty rate can be attributed to their robust defensive fortifications and strategic positioning behind earthworks and trenches. The effectiveness of Jackson’s defenses, along with well-placed artillery and skilled sharpshooters, enabled them to fend off multiple British attacks with few losses, ultimately securing a decisive victory. This significant disparity in outcomes solidified the Battle of New Orleans as a crucial event in the War of 1812.
