They did not get a better life. They lived in ha rsh conditions , and deadly pandemics killed thousands. AND then they were cannon fodder in the meat grinder of 1861 to 1865. Thousands of Nola Irish died, and thousands more suffered from wounds or in POW camps in the Civil War. Take care Erin go Braugh!!

I guess after that, I shouldn't say this cause I'm not British. I'm from NY and CT and I grew up saying "New Or-leens." It's real hard to change how you say something after decades, even though I have been made fun of. I feel fake saying "New Or-lins." But maybe I'll just keep saying it that way and eventually it'll feel natural. Now I need more opportunities to say it!

Maaan, this is why I LOVE this doggone country! The diversity of culture, music, pronunciations, accents, food, you name it! My family is from Orleans and Jefferson Parishes, but growing up as a military brat, I never really learned much of the culture of southeast Louisiana until my late teens or so. I lived in Georgia, North Carolina, then South Carolina from when I was 8 to 26 years old. I live in California now, and man, people have a truly different view on what they might believe "The South" is. Louisiana (and I'll throw in a good portion of Mississippi for good measure) is definitely the one state of the South that truly stands out in almost every way, while still being considered part of the South. It's chaotic, and some might even call it messy, but I tell you what, you'll have some of the best food and street jazz performances this country has to offer! If you also wanna have a REALLY good time, go to any populated bar in downtown New Orleans and watch a Saints game. Even if you might not be a fan, you'll quickly learn to love 'em LOL! I've been to Atlanta, Charlotte, Los Angeles, Tampa, Houston, and a lot of other places with NFL teams, but New Orleans is TRULY a place where the Saints are a part of their way of life, and it's the most beautiful and synergizing relationships I've ever seen between a professional sports team and its home fans.

As an Indigenous American, it’s hard to cope with the fact that my entire culture and civilization was wiped from memory in a very short time by disease. At the same time, the culture I’ve inherited is certainly a wonderful substitute. I’m an anthropologist, I love studying the different cultures of the whole globe, but here, I don’t gotta worry about travel, the whole world came to us 😂 and my ancestors didn’t even know a second world was out there! Not only that but I was blessed to be born in my ancestral homeland, and the greatest state in the union, TEXAS 😜

Many old uptowners say, "New Aw-yunz," but please remember, it's always "Or-leenz Parish." Btw, Grandma, who would have been 131 years old this year, always called the sidewalk "the bank-it," never ""bank-wet." The front steps was "the stoop," the front room was "the parlor," and a barroom was "a beer parlor."

Ah, so interesting! (Also that your grandmother was born in 1893 is pretty amazing too! Though, actually, I'm just realizing, my father's mother was born only about a year later. She was 23 when she had him in 1917, but he was 49 when he had me in 1967. So that's a long generation in there, but still, our grandmothers would be just about the same age. Wow.)

I am from New Orleans, born and raised right near City Park in Faubourg St John and I say New Orleans (New Or-lee-uns) like I was taught. My great grandparents and other respected elders in my family and friends used all of the great local colloquialisms that are long gone like banquette (sidewalk) and gallery(porch). They were neither cajun nor yats also distinct accents. I learned from them and said things that way too until I got to high school and no one else was carrying on those small but wonderful traditions. When I was growing up every neighborhood had its own distinct dialect. You could always tell what part of town someone came from just by speaking to them. Now with all of the transients and transplants no one sounds like they’re from New Orleans anymore. Cultural heritage and tradition is almost totally gone. Sadly, once the older New Orleanians are all gone there will be no one left to carry on whats left of our wonderful heritage.
