The victory at Baton Rouge has cleared the Mississippi River estuary entirely of British forces and put the lower reaches of the river firmly under Spanish control.
American and Spanish privateers, within a few days of Gálvez' victory, capture several British supply ships on Lake Pontchartrain, including the remarkable capture of one ship carrying fifty-four Waldecker troops and ten to twelve sailors by a sloop crewed by fourteen native Louisianans.
