"Exasperated, Claiborne posted a $500 reward for anyone who would capture Lafitte. New Orleans snickered the next day when posters appeared saying Lafitte offered $1,500 for Claiborne's capture.".
"I think that Lafitte put a price on Claiborne's head after territorial Governor Claiborne put a bounty on Jean Lafitte."
You were right.
It was late/early when I posted but I didn't need to read the full text of this short article to start finding fault with their praise of a man who put a price on a governing American leader's head.
