  • A Confusion of Institutions: Spanish Law and Practice in a Francophone Colony, Louisiana, 1763-Circa 1798
    THE TULANE EUROPEAN AND CIVIL LAW FORUM VOLUME 31/32 2017 A Confusion of Institutions: Spanish Law and Practice in a Francophone Colony, Louisiana, 1763-circa 1798 Paul E Hoffman* I. INTRODUCTION ..................................................................................... 1 II. THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM AND LOCAL LAW AND ORDER .................... 4 III. SLAVERY ............................................................................................. 13 IV. CONCLUSION ...................................................................................... 20 I. INTRODUCTION French Louisiana had been a thorn in the flank of Spain’s Atlantic Empire from its founding in 1699. Failure to remove that thorn in 1699 and again in 1716, when doing so would have been comparatively easy and Spanish naval forces were positioned to do so, meant that by 1762 the wound had festered, so that the colony had become what La Salle, Iberville, Bienville, and their royal masters had envisioned: a smuggling station through which French goods reached New Spain and Cuba and their goods—dye stuffs and silver mostly—reached France and helped to pay the costs of a colony that consumed more than it produced, at least so 1 far as the French crown’s finances were concerned. * © 2017 Paul E Hoffman. Professor Emeritus of History, Louisiana State University. 1. I have borrowed the “thorn” from ROBERT S. WEDDLE, THE FRENCH THORN: RIVAL EXPLORERS IN THE SPANISH SEA, 1682-1762 (1991); ROBERT S. WEDDLE, CHANGING TIDES: TWILIGHT AND DAWN IN THE SPANISH SEA, 1763-1803 (1995) (carries the story of explorations). The most detailed history of the French colony to 1731 is the five volumes of A History of French Louisiana: MARCEL GIRAUD, 1-4 HISTOIRE DE LA LOUISIANA FRANÇAISE (1953-74); 1 A HISTORY OF FRENCH LOUISIANA: THE REIGN OF LOUIS XIV, 1698-1715 (Joseph C.

  • The Rise and Fall of New France / by Prof. Frederick J. Turner
    AN UNFAMILIAR ESSAY BY FREDERICK J.TURNER Quite early In his professional career Professor Turner evinced an Interest in immigration problems, historically considered, as a particular aspect of his central interest — the study of the territorial advance of the American popula­ tion. In the course of a review of Roosevelt's Winning of the West, In 1889 Turner wrote: To this valley, also, have come migrations from the Old World such as can be compared only with the great Wandering of the Peoples — the Volkerwanderung — of the Middle Ages. A new composite na­ tionality is being produced, a distinct American people, speaking the English tongue, but not English.^ Once his period of apprenticeship was completed—It ter­ minated when Johns Hopkins conferred the doctorate In 1890 — Turner seized the opportunity of planning research projects In this inviting field. As his seminar topic for the college year 1890—91, he selected the study of immigration into Wisconsin.^ Turner's approach to the subject was broad and philosophical. Wisconsin had been rocked by controversies between natives and foreign-born, the latter strongly resenting the enactment of the Bennett Law, which prescribed that all schools in the state should give a portion, of their Instruction In the English language. To the schol­ ar's mind it was clear that immigration, historically treated, opened the gate to a better understanding between native and foreigner. Toward the close of 1891 Turner published an essay on the "Philosophy of History," in the course of which he took occasion to remark: "^The Dial (Chicago), 10:71 (August, 1889).

    READY TO ACHIEVE! 2021-2022 SCHOOL OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES UPDATED AUGUST 11, 2021 CONTENTS Louisiana Department of Health Operational Guidelines for Louisiana Public and Nonpublic Schools ............................ 2 Best Practices for Operating Louisiana School Facilities in 2021-2022 ............................... 6 Office of Public Health Regional Contacts ................................................................ 13 LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR LOUISIANA PUBLIC AND NONPUBLIC SCHOOLS In light of the Governor’s Roadmap to Restarting Louisiana, the Department is issuing guidance pertaining to opening public and nonpublic school facilities to serve students in the 2021-2022 school year. This guidance is based on current medical knowledge of how COVID-19 is transmitted, exposure to respiratory droplets when a person is in close contact with someone who has COVID-19. Protective measures in school settings include: • Social distancing, achieved by establishing and, for the maximum number of days possible, maintaining small groups of individuals that minimally interact with other groups or individuals, including in shared indoor spaces; • Correct use of masks; • Handwashing and respiratory etiquette; • Cleaning and maintaining healthy facilities; and • Contact tracing in combination with isolation and quarantine. School Planning for COVID-19 Cases 1. Given the levels of COVID-19 currently in our communities, schools should plan for and expect that some students will get COVID-19 during the school year. 2. As part of their planning to reopen, schools should expect that there will be students who get COVID-19 and that those students will possibly expose other students/staff in the school setting. Contact tracing and quarantining of close contacts should occur for each case of COVID-19 identified.

  • Indians' Marital and Intercultural Relationships in Colonial Louisiana
    Week 4 p.1 Indians’ Marital and Intercultural Relationships in Colonial Louisiana Kathleen DuVal Excerpted from: “Indian Intermarriage and Métissage in Colonial Louisiana,” William and Mary Quarterly 65:2 (April 2008), 267-304 In the 1790s a Quapaw Indian woman called Marie Louise had two children with a voyageur (independent trader) named Michel Bonne. Records reveal little else about this woman. Her Quapaw parents must have lived in one of their nation’s towns along the Arkansas River, just west of the Mississippi. By the time of Marie Louise’s birth, the Quapaw had suffered devastating population losses due to European diseases. They had also established strong ties of trade and alliance with the French who founded the Arkansas Post on Quapaw lands. Despite the fuzzy details, Marie Louise’s story seems familiar: an Indian woman married and had children with a Frenchman who supplied goods to her people. But Marie Louise did not typify relationships between her people and the French. In reality she and her children are the only clear examples of Quapaw-French marriage or childbearing in the 130 years from the arrival of the French in 1673 through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Parish registers show many Indian women who bore children with Frenchmen of the Arkansas Post, yet nearly all came from distant nations, mostly seized in raids and brought there as slaves. Bonne’s own mother, Marie Louise’s mother-in-law, was one of these women, a Plains Apache. In colonial Louisiana Indian circumstances, needs, and customs had more influence over whether cross-cultural sexual and marital relationships occurred and how children born from such unions fitted into their complex world.
