Last year, President Barack Obama echoed these sentiments about the need tocontextualize and remember all of our history.
Obama doing this caused a change all over America to start bringing light to the bad history.

This just proves how they still continue to use the confederacy to try and bring racism.

Child labor at Lane Cotton Mill, 1913. Photo by Lewis Hine.
Child labor is a very huge thing back then. I remember reading how much it affected New York back then.

In 1897 the quasi-legal red light district called Storyville opened and soon became a famous attraction of the city.
The word quasi is used a lot throughout war history. Makes me think of many wars.

On September 14, 1874 armed forces led by the White League defeated the integrated Republican metropolitan police and their allies in pitched battle in the French Quarter and along Canal Street. The White League forced the temporary flight of the William P. Kellogg government, installing John McEnery as Governor of Louisiana.
The name Kellogg sounds familiar, but it makes me think of Frosted Flakes.

The city again served as capital of Louisiana from 1865 to 1880. Throughout the years of the Civil War and the Reconstruction period the history of the city is inseparable from that of the state. All the constitutional conventions were held here, the seat of government again was here (in 1864–1882) and New Orleans was the center of dispute and organization in the struggle between political and ethnic blocks for the control of government.
So what I’m reading is New Orleans use to be the capital of Louisiana. I wonder what changed then.

New Orleans Mardi Gras in the early 1890s.
Loved how this picture shows early Mardi Gras.

By 1840, the city's population was approximately 102,000 and it was now the third-largest in the U.S, the largest city away from the Atlantic seaboard as well as the largest in the South.[23]
The population growth back then was a huge number for them versus now.

Between 64 and 125 enslaved men marched from sugar plantations near present-day LaPlace on the German Coast toward the city of New Orleans.
Mind blowing that so many men were enslaved to work a plantation. Some of these plantations you can see today actually.

While Governor Claiborne and other officials wanted to keep out additional free black men, French Creoles wanted to increase the French-speaking population. As more refugees were allowed into the Territory of Orleans, Haitian émigrés who had gone to Cuba also arrived. Nearly 90 percent of the new immigrants settled in New Orleans.
Why was the governor at the time trying to keep those people out? I feel people deserve a different life and they were changing the population for the better.

From early days the city was noted for its cosmopolitan polyglot population and mixture of cultures. It grew rapidly, with influxes of Americans, African, French and Creole French (people of French descent born in the Americas) and Creoles of color (people of mixed European and African ancestry), many of the latter two groups fleeing from the violent revolution in Haiti.
With this many people coming in from different places caused much of a population change and even created something new. Creole is a very big thing in New Orleans.

New Orleans developed a distinctive local dialect that is neither Cajun English nor the stereotypical Southern accent that is often misportrayed by film and television actors. Like earlier Southern Englishes, it features frequent deletion of the pre-consonantal "r", though the local white dialect also came to be quite similar to New York accents.[204]
The New Orleans language is something that can’t be taught at all unless raised around it. People try hard to learn about it, but it’s apart of their culture.

The City of New Orleans, used Archon Information Systems software and services to host multiple online tax sales. The first tax sale was held after Hurricane Katrina.[213] The New Orleans government operates both a fire department and the New Orleans Emergency Medical Services.
The technology influenced much of New Orleans to change for the better especially after Katrina.

Between 1791 and 1810, thousands of Saint Dominican refugees from the Haitian Revolution, both whites and free people of color (affranchis or gens de couleur libres), arrived in New Orleans; a number brought their slaves with them, many of whom were native Africans or of full-blood descent.
To think how many people of colored at the time just kept coming to New Orleans, but they were brought as mostly slaves.

Relations with Louisiana's Native American population remained a concern into the 1740s for governor Marquis de Vaudreuil. In the early 1740s traders from the Thirteen Colonies crossed into the Appalachian Mountains. The Native American tribes would now operate dependent on which of various European colonists would most benefit them. Several of these tribes and especially the Chickasaw and Choctaw would trade goods and gifts for their loyalty.
This shows how the Native Americans trusted the European colonist. The population of Native Americans was very huge in Louisiana.

New Orleans (/ˈɔːrl(i)ənz/ OR-l(ee)ənz, /ɔːrˈliːnz/ OR-leenz,[3] locally /ˈɔːrlənz/ OR-lənz;[4] French: La Nouvelle-Orléans [la nuvɛlɔʁleɑ̃] (listen)) is a consolidated city-parish located along the Mississippi River in the southeastern region of the U.S. state of Louisiana.
This gives multiple ways how to stay New Orleans, because many people do butcher it. Also gives the French way of how to say it.

The Big Easy, possibly a reference by musicians
A lot of places in New Orleans are called big easy. The word big easy is seen everywhere.

Founded in 1718 by French colonists, New Orleans was once the territorial capital of French Louisiana before becoming part of the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803
The French founded New Orleans in 1718 just to end up giving it to the United States. But the French did heavily influence New Orleans and still does.
