1812 War - British Victory

Sorry - I meant would it have affected the outcome of the Battle of New Orleans, rather than the whole war.

If the new American commander is smart enough to hold and let the British advance into American fire, there should be no major difference in the battle. The butterflies afterwards would be enormous, though.
 
To everyone speculating on how worse off the US would have been if there had been no Napoleonic War, keep this in mind: If there had been no Napoleonic War, the Royal Navy wouldn't have to resort to impressment and thus there would have been no war.

there might well be a war with France if the USA if they can't buy New Orleans though... and that would likely also be a disaster for the USA...
