There are a few American ballads about the Battle of New Orleans, which Americans were insufferably proud of. We beat the guys who beat Napoleon, yadda yadda.

The war also gave rise to a few catchphrases famous in the US, of which "Don't give up the ship" and "We have met the enemy and he is ours" are the most famous, though the latter has since been eclipsed by Walt Kelly's altered version, "We have met the enemy and he is us."
