- Jean Lafitte may technically have been responsible for the repelling of the British Invasion on the shores of Louisiana, but he was never credited with such a feat because of his pirating ways.

i appreciate your efforts but please dont do this with a cold. i had trouble breathing listening to your voice... kinda like how my own nose was blocked... also take care of yourself, better rest and heal yourself before doing anything.
You are legend for uploading while sick hope you're feeling better
Fun fact: The so-called "Spaniard pirates" that sailed with Lafitte during the war with the British were actually Filipino. They were sailors enlisted in the Spanish navy, who jumped ship from the Spaniards once they made it to New Orleans (look up, the Manila galleon trade if you wonder how they made it there) and started communities near the city of Chalmette on the Eastbank near New Orleans. And also, in an area that provides access to Barataria Bay, that's on the Westbank, (appropriately) around the city of what's now called Lafitte.
My GGGGrandfather Jacinto Lobrano was from Isola Di Procida, Italy. He sailed with Lafitte and fought in the Battle of New Orleans. His sword is on display at the Confederate museum in New Orleans.
That's really cool :)
How Cool!! Not many families have historic items on display in a Museum, that is part of their family history.
My 4th great grandfather is jean laffite
Devin Owens I don't that, your not kin to me, wwg1wga.
@@notbyingit3179 your right there is no telling! there is so much famiy i dont even know!
Lafitte's crew ended up providing most of the artillery for Jackson's forces for the land battles as well. Before joining up the cities defenses could only muster about half a dozen mismatched cannons, with accounts and even a few illustrations from New Orleans officials noting the near 50 cannons brought by the ~150 pirates who took part in the land battle. While about half were only small swivel guns, they also hauled in several proper 12pd and 18pd long guns and even a 32pd carronade whose massive grapeshot blasts would prove pivotal in breaking multiple British charges. They also brought enough powder and shot to last the entire multi-day battle, blasting away the whole while.
In a funny bit from history the city officials are recorded as complaining about the pirates drinking nearly 4 times the standard soldiers ration in alcohol, although they did positively note Lafitte's men only requested half the standard water allotment for a unit their size.
French people and Americans may make fun of each other and pretend like we dont like each other but when it comes to fighting the british there is no greater alliance
Since I am a greatest granddaughter of this pirate.., I. Met the greatest grandson of Captain William Kidd who is the sheriff in the county that I lived in in Virginia we became very good friends.... Of The Creed !
I'm no fan of the British government.
I want to see him in the next assassin's Creed game
Karina Camacho broooooo that would be amazing
Hopefully in that game I would enjoy the glory of killing Lafitte in Assassin’s Creed!

You're correct, and Governor Claiborne. First governor of Louisiana put a bounty on Lafitte's Head for 500 dollars. Lafitte came back with a bounty of 15,000 on the head of Claiborne. Lafitte was a no nonsense Pirate.
Just visited his fort ruins in Galveston. Huge opening in gate and it’s suspiciously clean of vandalism. The awesome architecture is still there as well as the original stairs.
Same
"Every inch of these areas have been thoroughly investigated" spoken like someone who knows nothing about South Louisiana geography.
Was thinking the same, I’m from Gretna, La myself. Hbu?
My father was raised in Lafitte, I lived in Lafitte for a few years. I was born in Marrero, but I’ve lived in the Baton Rouge area for almost 25 years now.
So enjoyed this hidden slice of American history. Thanks for putting this together!
As a kid growing up in marrero and in Laffite. I didn’t pay attention in school like I should have but I be damned when we learned our Louisiana history I always was all ears. It was like a real fairy tale that happened in my backyard. Where we played and fished.
If you haven't seen that marionette show they do at the Lafitte Visitor's Center (across from the gas station where you take a left from the highway) about Lafitte during the 1812 war, I HIGHLY recommend it. Bring the whole family; they'd probably love it too.
Abe Dean oh cool
Brah ! I will do that thanks a lot for the heads up
@@yeaheverday No problem. I'd call ahead to make sure it's still there (unless you were already in the area; hate to see gas wasted). That marionette show was enough of a beauty to make rounds on a tour around here...
Abe Dean - yeah you right ! I moved to bay st Louis MS in 2007 so I will call ! What’s crazy is the influence Lafitte even had around here too ! There’s a graveyard that has a lot of history on its website by my house that has a great write up about him.
He is a distant cousin of mine. My six times great grandfather, an Italian known as Nez Coupé, and his brother were part of his crew. They received pardons and were given two of the four land grants to Grand Isle, LA.
Katie S Hello distant relative!!!!
Did you see the comment made by 13bravo redleg?? His GGGGGGrandfather also served with Lafitte. You two could have a lot to talk about. 😊
Nez Coupe sounds all but Italian to be honest. All i can find reference the French
this is my great great great grandfather
nez coupé means cut noze in french
Fun fact about Jean Lafitte in Galveston there is a hospital that his face shows up on and every time they try to get rid of it just shows up somewhere else on the building. But everyone in Galveston knows about his home that got burnt down by him. But there is another place that called Stewart Mansion and there was like his base of operation. If you look it up they had Pirates painting on the wall. Sadly when me and my friend went there a few years back they sense got rid of it cause they remodeled it think there trying to build homes or something there.
The face one Ewing hall isnt Lafitte. According to legend, its the face of the man who owned the land UTMB was built on who requested it not be sold but his family sold it anyways. Or William Wallace. When i saw it Wallace is my likely guess.
That building is gone now. It was the “maurice building” i think. Part of UTMB.
When you know what Galveston and New Orleans look like but the video shows all these pictures of high cliffs and hardwood trees...
I think his name was mentioned on an episode of Histeria!. Where President Jackson meets this pirate in a pub to discuss the plan to defeat the British in Louisiana.
We had Jazzland in New Orleans. We would go every weekend during the summer. There was a ride based on Jean Lafitte. Definitely miss Jazzland.
We love these awesome tales of Pirate Jean Laffite, Galveston Ghost Tours...
I'm related to one of the crew members that was in charge of cleaning the bilges. So I'm really related to Lafitte. Doh!
does that mean were related? He is my like 10th cousin or something
Laffite the navigator of the Blackbeard Pirates
Yup, that's where his name came from.
Wait what?
I want to see him in assassin's Creed in the napoleonic war like ship battles of the Caribbean Sea
Like driving his ship attacking ships like assassin's Creed 4 black flag like blackbeard's ship
could be shown in assassins creed 3... damn it
Karina Camacho ohh that’s going to be awesome
Thanx4post
Good stories these.
Basically this guy was jack sparrow in real life
@David Borchman Nope, Jack Sparrow is a historical figure.
Just type Jack Arsuf.
@David Borchman Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean franchise could be based on Jack Ward.

@David Borchman My bad it was asfur, I made a typo.
Yeah, you could say that.
Jean lafittes pretty cool but I think Pierre deserves some type of credit for cool things heck we don’t even now what he looks like
My grandmothers middle and last name is actually Jean Lafitte. Melody Jean Lafitte.
Thank you for this video he is my ancestor and I always like hearing the different stories and researching him you did quite a well job from all the research that I've done on him so far
There are quite a few commentors who are either related, or their Great Grandfathers x5 served as his crew members. You should come back and check them out, you probably will have a lot to talk about with them. 😊
Yo you are from my family he is also my ancestor
He is mine too lol that's cool
Coool, I'm related to him from my dad's side of the family!
He is like my GGGGreat grandfather, badass to see the others on the post that are related. Ive always been drawn to the water and just moved to the gulf myself to pursue my captains license. Hearing the history of my ancestor, really makes me wonder if there is a reason for my love of the water. Do any of you like the ocean ?
I'm in Galveston rn and just heard that he had a colony here.
Please do a video on Lady Saigo.
Not to long ago I was looking into my family history and I found that that I have a direct relation to Jean Lafitte. So I've been looking into all I can on him and the more I found the more he became a type of hero in my eyes. I had always heard of the pirate Lafitte being a local in Louisiana myself.
Interesting. I've done quite a bit of research on Jean for a novel series I write. I also live about 15 miles from Galveston Island and have been hearing things for years. I'm a historian and in working on a thesis on the slave trade out of Galveston, I ran across some information about how James Bowie (yes, THAT Jim Bowie of the knife and Alamo--Texas hero) and his brother were working with Lafitte to take contraband slaves overland into New Orleans. He would turn them in for escaped slaves, get the reward and then sell them and take the money back to Lafitte. Also, there's a book about the colony of Barataria that is a wonderful resource on the colony, Lafitte and his men, and the Battle of New Orleans and the pirate's part in that battle. The book is The Baratarians and the Battle of New Orleans by Jane Lucas du Grummond with Biographical sketches of the Veterans of the Battalion of Orleans 1814-1815 by Ronald R. Morazan (Copyright 1961 Louisiana State University Press, with additional material by Legacy Publishing Company, Inc, Baton Rouge, Louisiana Copyright 1979.) In my series, Jean didn't really die, he was turned and is a vampire.
Interesting video considering my grandmas maiden name is Lafitte as was my great grandfather. Also if i remember correctly he became a captain of a Spanish ship with country of Spain therefore becoming an enemy on the Americans. Its also how he died. Taking ships from other Spanish fleets as well as looting them. He also most notably offed over half of his men when they learned of his illegal activities by supplying them his biggest ship at the time with no way to steer nor any oars and firing on them. And BTW while many people shared the same last name the variation lies in the spelling. Jean Lafitte has a more distinct french sounding name the Jean would've been pronounced with a french accent.
Can I get some of your sources? I’m trying to learn more about Lafitte and your video had a lot of new information for me. Thanks for this video
he is literally reading from wikipedia
@@TonyMontana-vo8nd There were details he had that aren’t in the wiki. The Galveston part of the story is where things start to become more legend and not every source has all the details on it
Best part, you can still go to his blacksmith shop that is now a bar on bourbon street
My 6x Great Grandfather was Louis Chighizola aka Nez Coupe(Cut Nose)one of Lafittes lieutenants. He lived the rest of his life on Grand Isle where all of our ancestors lived and died. His son Louis Chighizola grave is still there for all to see at the Grand Isle Cemetery right behind my house where I lived most of my life...
Wow it’s crazy how different types of people view this guy. The Americans see him as a savior and my people see him as an enemy
If coastal erosion was ever a problem here around the back end of Barataria, that gold is gone to all but divers with aquatic echo-location apparatus.
U.S. SCHOOLS give scant attention to Lafitte's assistance during the Battle of New Orleans. Without his canons, the American force would have probably lost the battle, and the city would have been taken by the English. Ah, American "education" - lol !
Naw when the cannons melted down they grabbed alligators and fired another round.
The gators saved the battle
I go to a private school. I’m currently a Junior so US history is the history class we take our junior year (at least at my school) I’m in honors and I’ve never heard of him. This is why one should never rely on school to teach them everything. Thank God for resources like the internet!
Do other country’s schools give more attention to this topic or what
Yea its annoying as a history buff i had to go back and relearn a bunch of shit
Lizzy S There is no god
I live not far from one of Lafitte’s forts. It’s a 45 minute drive and a 10 minute boat ride. I do believe that after hurricane Ida it has washed away sadly.
This reminds me of Gabrielle d'Annunzio and his escapade in Fiume a century later
This is my 7th great grandfather. This is Jean Lafitte baptiste de vit Graveline the second. His father Jean Lafitte baptiste de vit Graveline the first helped to found Mobile AL.
When the general put him wanted for a bounty he put the general for wanted for a bounty
Like 5 people claimed to be related or had fam that fought with him
Here in Louisiana, the Lafitte name is everywhere. You get 200 years of descendants & that's going to be a lot of people!
i’m related to sir francis drake
I'm not related to him but Hopley Yeaton the first ever officer of the USCG is my six great grandfather. ;)
George Washington rode through two states just to talk with him and ask him to take the position.
there are over 7 billion people in this world of course at least 5 people are relitives of him me being one
Ya im related to him to he was my dads 8th cousin so I dont know if that makes him my 9th cousin or something but yea
13:00 idk if yall been to Galveston....but that's not Galveston...
There should be modern movies about this such great legend
I keep thinking of Offhand Disney.
You will find me at the blacksmith shop with that purple drank.
Why the hell is this not a movie or a series?...
Because America would have to admit France paid for everything. Once they used France- they then switched sides and here we are today
We all know America and England are one
Oh forgot to add once they killed the last living blood royal kings.
Then the illegitimate people crowned themselves as such “queens and popes”
The Buccaneer- Yul Brenner.
And for some reason this legend is not well known like blackbeard
I've been to his pub!!!
Never knew about this guy, he is so cool. More awesome pirate outlaws, please! ☠️🌠🎉
You should read the book called Skull and saltire. It's a book about Scottish pirate's from ancient times to modern day, you'll find more interesting pirate's that lived in the golden age of piracy in Scotland.
@@edwardneilloftheclanmacnei7057
I skimmed through it. What a fascinating read. That makes me wonder if a pirate's life is for me. Maybe.
Not many people know about Scottish pirate's like Ruari the Turbulent, Black Pate etc.I know for one thing it be awesome to find more information about Ruari the Turbulent and how much Queen Elizabeth the first put a bounty on his head. If I was a pirate I would sail under Ruari the Turbulent who was the chieftain of my clan in those days I would also of venture further for more treasure to share with the clan, plus it be awesome to have my own castle in the sea as well to live in full of everything that I've looted. Did you know that in the 16th century my clan were known as the last of the Vikings
@@edwardneilloftheclanmacnei7057 he sounds interesting. I am sure that Queen paid a lot more for the bounty than she said she did. Lol
In my opinion on the bit of research I already know about Ruari the Turbulent, he is the true king of pirate's, not only was he the chieftain of a clan that's been committing piracy well before BlackBeard, Henry Avery time he would have more experience in piracy then other pirate's especially as DNA results shows that the McNeill of Barra clan are actually descendent from Vikings. He never listen to any royal summons as it's said that he declared himself king of his own country as he was enjoying being a notorious pirate. He had a massive fleet of ship's at his disposal from Birlinn which are descendent from Viking long boats and Galleys. On a online source when Ruari the Turbulent was captured by a trap that was set by the McKenzies who invited him to a party on there ship. When he was summoned to be questioned by King James VI on why he attacked Queen Elizabeth the first ship's, Ruari the Turbulent said it was in revenge for the murder of King James mother Queen Mary queen of the Scots, which the source said he lied and only said it to save his own skin from the gallows and in other source's he was an honourable man who was intellect and wit so the king set him free but forfeit his land's which no one claimed as he was feared. When the McKenzies laid siege to the castle Ruari the Turbulent tricked them thinking that the McNeills have enough meal to last months so they sailed away which you can find about in a book about the McNeill of Barra. And Ruari the Turbulent also kept committing piracy until the day he died peacefully in his own bed or in another source in a prison cell as one of his son's put him in prison. He decorated his castle from everything that he looted from expensive tapestries, marble, silk etc.
On the chapter in the book called pirate's of the western isles that gives you information about Ruari the Turbulent, there is a quote that was said after a evening meal that was shouted over the battlements, "The great McNeill of Barra having supped, all the princes of the earth may dine" .
Ok just looked this guy up 2 days ago. How do you pick your topics cause that's just weird.

Im from new Orleans and Lafittes "Blacksmith bar" is still open in the French quarter
I like Jelly on my toast
Do you jave anything on Lafoots wagons of gold or silver, that he had to hid in a lake or river?
I find it so cool that he is one of my ancestors.
I’m related to him!!!!!! On my mother’s side. They came from France and settled in Louisiana. They then migrated to Texas and here we are 🤗
I met his heir today. The truth is He was born in England. His birth name is Fletcher Christian. He was way more honorable than people portray him as.
So many neat details!! So sad the truth about him is distorted. I have always loved him as an American Hero. I now have more reason to love him now.
There are 3 other commentors who are also related, or their ancestors served as crew members. Check it out, could be some great conversations. 😊
me too

He is my ancestor
my ancestor got killed by him in a duel small world
Two movies one from the 30’s in B&W one from the 50’s in color Both called The Buccaneer, the second one has Charlton Heston and Yule Brenner both in it…. Great effin movie about Lafitte….. I’m from the Westbank of New Orleans. Lafitte is a small fishing town on the Westbank … I can leave my house and be in the water on a boat in 20 minutes or less… sitting in a launched boat a Lafitte launch in 20 minutes or less…. My point though is Jean Lafitte is a local hero around these parts
Robert Surcouf is next ?
Nah that's probably Jhon Paul jones who saved America but still a good video nice job 👍
I am of French ancestry and I am a Pirate and an Outlaw at heart.
Still a legend in louisiana!
And in Disney parks!
Did he have haki?
Well you see he has wing and can fly so....
Maybe?
"Thieves should be hanged".
Words spoken by the character Bombarta, played by Wilt Chamberlain in the movie Conan The Destroyer.
But what really surprises me is that African Americans don't ask the Jean Lafitte National Park be renamed considering Lafitte sold slaves and made allot of money doing that.
My grandfather told me his surname was Laffite before he changed it. So there is a chance i could be related to Jean Laffite.

Now wasn't he quite the dandy dodger? Some of his life is the inspiration of some short plot lines in the Pirates Caribbean movies.
Don't get a Cajun started on Jean.
Just look in the comments. They are all related.
He is Legendary in South Louisiana
@@daviswhite3591 He's famous in East texas too. The slavery part was not mentioned nor did they go extensively into his piracy but they do talk alot about him being a famous explorer.
The title bugs me a little. A peace treaty had been signed in 1814 before the battle began, but word of peace had not reached New Orleans when the battle began. The Battle of New Orleans took place in early 1815. One of the stipulations in the Treaty of Ghent was that any captured territory would be returned and borders would the same as when the war started. No matter the outcome of the battle the result would be the same. The result of the battle in the grand scheme of things is meaningless, so it is inaccurate to say Jean Lafitte 'saved America.'
The English have been known to "forget" of "cancel" treaties, to their advantage. Ask the people Ireland and Scotland !
@@marytica123 And your president is doing a damn fine job doing the same at the moment...Do you want a full list...? It's extensive. Just saying....🤷
The treaty was signed on Dec 1814 but not RATIFIED by congress until Feb 1815. Until it is ratified it is meaningless.
Considering that the war had ended before the Battle of New Orleans, I doubt that he "saved America." He did help Andrew Jackson beat the British at the battle but he wasted the opportunity to stop being a pirate.
Sup
He left his name to other times link'd with one virtue and a thousand crimes..... Lord Byron
He has a abandoned house it’s basically nothing now in Galveston Texas
A real pity that national preservation of historic properties did not preserve that home place..!
Born and raised in New Orleans.
No. Born in South West France.

You know when a New Orleanian lies? Lol when he opens his mouth.
The only film "The Buccaneer, 1958", is with Yul Bryner!! Yes bald Yul Bryner playing Jean Lyfitte...lol Fun movie broad facts intact but very fanciful depiction
it was a cecil b. demille anthony quinn remake of demille's 1938 version with Fredric March however the Yul Brynner Inger Stevens one is by far my favorite.
I've had an affinity for collecting small cannons all my life...

He became a farmer
I'm friend with someone who is a descendant of Jean Lafitte

Jean was a business man a very successful one. He just didn't make the George Washington cut. George had a good whiskey Business, and better Public Relations.
treasure buried does nothing, no one any good.

You need to acquire debt to acquire financial gain... (CREDIT SCORE),

We do this to this day.
but we do not bury our money in jars or chests in the backyards.
Jean Lafitte had a brother named Dominique who was born in Saint Domingue, Hispaniola, French West Indies (now Haiti).
The sad part of this story is that positive aspects of his legacy is being discredited because he was also a Slave runner. There are those of us in Louisiana that just want to embrace History as it truly was rather that make everything about political correctness. A most recent example was in Lake Charles they changed “The Contraband Festival” name generically to the “Pirate Festival” because illegal slaves were also contraband in that era.
A Texan pirate?
Lafitte also had on his crew Israel HANDS 😬 (badum tiss) 🙊
One piece reference
is anyone here for offhand disney
This is my Great Great Great Great grandfather, he is the father of my Great Great Great grandmother Elsie Lafitte who is an american indian from New Orleans La.
