They also rounded up their street whores in France and shipped them to New Orleans to marry the men already here.

Most of this is known by posters who grew up in Louisiana. It's a topic of many a teen giggle in Louisiana History, usually taken in the 8th grade.

So, stay in prison or move to Louisiana with a trashy wife. What a dilemma.

In 1719, John Law decided to offer prisoners in Paris something they could not refuse. He offered them their freedom as long as they were willing to marry a prostitute and head off to Louisiana.



Sad thing is that they're offspring actually moved to Alabama.

One of the many reasons why the Louisiana colony was actually a failure. The Germans (and their work ethic) who settled in what is now St. Charles Parish actually saved the lazy and worthless in New Orleans from starving to death.

I descend from that man. He was a genius! Came here himself eventually. Lost so much of the King’s money on the Louisiana business, he had to go to London. Lost their King’s money too on something or other so was persona non grata everywhere on the continent.

May parents used to say they emptied the jails in France and sent them to US. Irishmen came to the US in droves during the potato famine back in Ole Arlind... seems they all drifted down south.
