I love Louisiana so much. Didn’t live there my whole life. Spent many years there entrenched in the culture and history. So much that I claim it as my own.
Sadly you can love Louisiana all you want but it won’t always love you back. It sure would be nice if there were a lot of white collar jobs for the college grads, good schools and a competent government. It is what it is. Can’t have it all.

Wow, that is a bit aggressive, and decidedly unnecessary.
Not really considering the ignorance of your OP.

New Orleans was almost deemed "uninhabitable" by the french colonists when first settled.

The largest collection of wealth in Louisiana is located on a message board called "The OT Lounge".

Nicolas Cage owned it at one time & I think he lost it when he went thru his tax crap and binge life.
I’ve passed the place many times.
They were all on the top floor handcuffed and shackled, she’d throw these extravagant parties with all the elites etc… and one time there was a fire from the party or something like that and I think they all burned in the fire.
horrible story & purely evil POS woman and whomever else knew about what she was doing.
Currently, the building is Beautuful, but it’s also said to be “the most or one or one of the most haunted buildings in the entire city”
And I think that twisted head of Nicolas Cage bought it because it was haunted. I heard that story years ago, he was supposedly drunk and high as a kite in a French Quarter watering hole and made that deal and bought it, later to lose it with his tax problems.

Yes,
We are the closest thing to a Banana Republic in the entire country, it is what it is.
I love it too, but I won’t be retiring here, finish raising the kids and head to
The mountains somewhere on a stream.

The Louisiana Purchase was the direct result of a slave rebellion in Haiti. Spain had originally claimed the Carribean Island (Hispaniola) in 1492 when Columbus discovered it. Approximately 200 years later, Spain ceded the land to France in 1697. The French colonial territory, then known as St. Domingue produced 40% of Britain and France’s sugar, and 60% of its coffee.
The indigenous people were owned by France and forced into slavery, mainly to farm the land. Resisting further exploitation, Haitians had enough and revolted against the French from 1791-1804. They were successful in defeating 30,000 armed French troops and re-claiming their land. This dealt a major blow to Bonaparte whose ambitions were to expand further west into North America. France had lost a major part of their commodities and owned Carribean territory. Since France was still at war with England, they desperately needed money to fund and support this battle.
One of the most important outcomes of this Haitian revolution was that it forced Napoleon Bonaparte (France) to sell Louisiana to the U.S. in 1803, resulting in a major territorial expansion of the United States.
FYI - After the Haitian Revolution that ended French rule and gave Haiti its independence, 90% of the Haitian refugees (10,000) settled in New Orleans doubling the city's population. Haitians are responsible for building the "shotgun house" design. Open the front & back doors and the house always stayed cool from the breeze. To prevent a housefire and catastrophe, kitchens were built outside apart from the main structure.

I feel the same way about the mosquitoes, my biggest complaint, I have the blood type they love. Eat the crap out of me… it’s unbearable, that’s why I love the winter time.

Every boulevardier in New Orleans knows where you got your shoes.

Every reason they give in that article for putting up a monument to recognize WT Sherman are the same reasons they reject for keeping up the Confederate statues around the south…go figure.
