Who would become a hero as a result of the Battle of New Orleans and later a president of the United States? A. George Washington B. Andrew Johnson C. Andrew Jackson D. U.S Grant

The Battle of New Orleans was a significant conflict during the War of 1812 between the United States and the United Kingdom. This battle took place in January 1815, after the Treaty of Ghent had been signed but before news of the treaty had reached the United States. The battle was a decisive victory for the United States and made a national hero of the general who led the American forces, Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson's success in the Battle of New Orleans, coupled with his earlier military success in the Creek War, propelled him to national fame. This fame was instrumental in his election as the seventh President of the United States, serving from 1829 to 1837. The other options, George Washington, Andrew Johnson, and U.S. Grant, were also presidents of the United States, but they did not become heroes as a result of the Battle of New Orleans. George Washington was the first president and served before the War of 1812. Andrew Johnson became president after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and was not a military leader in the War of 1812. U.S. Grant, who served as president from 1869 to 1877, was a prominent general during the American Civil War, not the War of 1812.
