Why have people from the New Orleans area historically despised republicans so much?

Decades and decades before Katrina or even nixon’s “Racist southern strategy”, the city was deeply deeply against the GOP. Going back to when reliable records began in the early 1900s.
Even New York and LA have occasionally been fairly supportive of GOP in certain elections long ago. Hoover won Chicago and NYC in the 20s
What gives?
If the parties switched ideologies, why didn’t NOLA switch with it?

It's in the deep south. Everywhere was pretty much Democrat until the 70s. Then you consider the demographics and the urban/rural divide of the parties now and it all makes sense.

Didn’t get the memo to switch.

The dems want N.O. to be Detroit of the south.

There's a lot of alcohol and drugs there, let's not forget voodoo, these things are typically not used as the foundation of life by conservatives.

There were longstanding factional divisions in Louisiana politics, for which the City of New Orleans was basically one of its own, but they all for the most part operated under the Democrat umbrella because as the poster above stated, Reconstruction basically made Republicans a non-starter for most of a century. This was for the whole state, not just New Orleans.

I get that
But if it is true that in the 19th century the dems were conservative and in 20th century they became liberal, why didn’t the city change its allegiance
It went from voting for a Conservative party to a liberal party

Not sure if serious, but in most if not all major Southern cities the influx of obsolete farm labor (consistent D voters) coincided with the outflux of white Democrats that became Republicans.
In 1965 NO was 25% black and filled with White D's, today it is 75% Black and filled with Black D's, and their allies that can tolerate African Governance.

Detroit or Chicago?

All Southern cities were Democratic Party strongholds beginning in the 1850s and set-in-stone by Reconstruction. So were Southern rural areas as well. The Solid South, 1850s through 1960s, was a political reality.
