Subject: Origins: Batttle of New Orleans - Marse Jackson
I did search the database - and I don't think this question has been asked - but could be wrong.
In the lyric of Battle of New Orleans - it says "Marse Jackson". I had always assumed it was a nickname of Andrew Jackson...yet I find no reference to "Marse (or "Marsh") Jackson" any where else. Anyone know?
