As a frontier territory in colonial America, Tennessee developed many marksmen who were skilled with rifles. When fellow Tennesseean General [[Andrew Jackson]] called for volunteers to help him fight the British in New Orleans at the end of the War of 1812, Tennessee marksmen volunteered in droves and provided the young nation of America with its most decisive victory at the [[Battle of New Orleans]].
