Since he was a young boy, Jean longed to be a pirate, and with the help of his brothers and uncle, he became one when he was just a teenager. Soon the only life he knew was on the high seas—a life full of glory, riches, disaster, and revenge. When he finally settled down in New Orleans, he managed to become a successful businessman and respected citizen, while still pirating. He even helped the United States win the War of 1812 when he alerted the U.S. government to a British plot to invade via New Orleans. With the help of Laffite and his pirates, General Andrew Jackson was able to beat back the British.\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eJean Laffite\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\"Move over, Jack Sparrow, and make way for Jean Laffite.
