Reenactors playing the roll of Kentucky volunteers, fighting for the United States, fire muskets during a reenactment of the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812, marking its bicentennial in Chalmette, Louisiana, January 10, 2015. The participants, some of whom have travelled thousands of miles to join in the event, recreated the five clashes that comprise the battle, which some historians say was key in making the British honor the terms of a peace treaty signed in late 1814.
