I was born and raised in Michigan…… My Grandmother was from Plaquemines….. I have been researching my genealogy and came across some fascinating information….. I have traced her people back to French settlers, Married to Free people of color, and Haitian and Spanish…… I have only been to Louisiana once, but I truly felt connected in a strange way….. Thank you for sharing this video, it adds to my continuing research…… Bonjour!

I find Bayou LaFourche very peculiar b/c it’s the exact same width from the river to the coast. Seems more like a dredged canal than I natural bayou. Plus there was a loch at Donaldsonville which is no longer. They’re many other such examples like this are up & down the river.

Re: non-slave-owners being forced or brainwashed. I very much doubt that was the case. The small farmer had just as much to lose as the plantation owner with the invasion of the Northern Army endangering property, livelihood, and personal safety. The Northern troops looked down their collective noses at Southerners in general. Louisiana didn't see the total destruction of property that the East Coast experienced from Sherman, but conditions were dire enough down here. These men were Louisianans, first and foremost. They were defending their own freedom and their home country (States, then, were countries -- Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both referred to Virginia and Massachusetts, respectively, as their country. ) Otherwise, a fascinating and good video. Thank you.

I’m sure whichever state you’re from isn’t entirely blue. Your comment really shows how out of touch you are. Louisiana is a cultural treasure, full of vibrant history, music, and cuisine that shaped much of what you enjoy today. If you think dismissing an entire state based on a stereotype makes you smart, you might want to reconsider. Without Louisiana, the world would be a much duller place. It’s had such an impact to make you comment on this video and let everyone know you’re not cultured enough to appreciate it. Typical American mindset. Maybe take a moment to learn about the rich heritage and contributions that come from here before spouting off nonsense.
