The Guard was formed when Louisiana Governor Thomas Overton Moore accepted into the state militia Native Guard 1st edition regiment of approximately 1, free African American men. When Governor Moore called for troops to defend Louisiana on April 17,a committee of ten prominent New Orleans free blacks called a meeting at the citys Catholic Institute on April 22 to pledge their loyalty to the Confederate cause. About 2, people attended the meeting including 1, free blacks who signed a militia muster roll. Governor Moore accepted their services and formed the 1st Louisiana Native Native Guard 1st edition unit on May 2, Among those who joined the militia were successful architects, brick masons, dentists, doctors and carpenters. The Governor appointed three white officers as regimental commanders but company commanders were Creoles chosen from the ranks of the unit. Among these Creole officers was Lieutenant Andre Cailloux, who ironically would later join the Louisiana Native Guard Union regiment and die in a charge against Confederate forces at Port Hudson in Also among the officers was Lieutenant Morris W. Morris had the distinction of being the only black Jewish officer in the Confederate Army and later the only black Jewish officer in the Union Army. Despite the initial enthusiasm of New Orleanss free men of color for the Confederate cause, both state and Native Guard 1st edition Confederate officials were uncomfortable with the idea of black soldiers within their ranks. The 1st Louisiana Native Guard was never provided uniforms or arms and as a result most of the men used their own resources for both clothing and weapons. In January the Louisiana State Legislature Native Guard 1st edition a law that required militia members to be white. On February 16,the 1st Louisiana Native Guard was disbanded. Cancel Send message.

It was made up entirely of free men of color. Benjamin F. Butler headquartered his 12,man Army of the Gulf in New Orleans. Free men of color had served with Native Guard 1st edition militia since the French colonial Native Guard 1st edition. But the regiment's initial strength was 1, men, and it was composed mostly of African- American former slaves who had escaped to freedom. The Union commissioned several African-American line officers of the Guard. Former Confederate Lt. Pinchbackalso a free man of color, was appointed as captain of Company A, and later was reassigned as company commander of the 2nd Regiment. He later served as governor of the state, as a US Representative and Senator. James Lewisa mixed-raceformer steward on the Confederate river-steamer De Sotowas commissioned as captain of company K. During this period, some slaves who escaped from nearby plantations joined the regiment, but the Union Army's official policy discouraged such enrollments. In Novemberthe number of escaped slaves seeking to enlist became so great that the Union organized a second regiment and, a month Native Guard 1st edition, a third regiment. The field-grade officers of these regiments colonels Native Guard 1st edition, lieutenant colonelsand majors were white men, with the notable exception of Major Francois Francis Ernest Dumas of the 2nd Regiment, a Creole of color. After General Nathaniel P. Banks replaced Butler as Commander of the Department of the Gulf, he began a systematic campaign to purge all the black or colored line officers from the 1st, 2nd, and Native Guard 1st edition Regiments of the Louisiana Native Guard. He secured the resignations of all the black line officers in the 2nd Regiment in Februarybut most of the black line officers in the 1st Regiment and 3rd Regiment remained. From its formation in September until early Maythe 1st Louisiana Native Guard largely performed fatigue duty—chopping wood, gathering supplies, and digging earthworks. From January to Maythe regiment also guarded the railway depots along the rail line between Algiers south of the Mississippi River, now part of New Orleans to Brashear City now called Morgan City. By this time, the Guard's numbers had diminished to Native Guard 1st editionand Fort Jackson. In mid, the 1st Louisiana Native Guard, along with the 3rd Louisiana Native Guardhad its Native Guard 1st edition chance at combat. These units participated in the first assault at Milliken's Bend in the Siege of Port Hudson on May 27, as well as the second assault on June Captain Cailloux died heroically in the first assault. Banks had requested the truce to carry off the wounded and bury the dead. Yet, inexplicably, the Federals left untouched the area where the Native Guards had charged the previous day--in stark contrast to their actions elsewhere on the battlefield. The hot sun putrefied the bodies until the stench forced Confederate Colonel Shelby to ask Bank's permission to bury the dead in front of his lines. Banks refused, claiming that he had no dead in that area. Cailloux's body, as well as those of the other members of the 1st Louisiana Native Guard who fell with him that day, was left on the field of battle until the surrender of Port Hudson on July 9, News of his heroism reached New Orleans, and Native Guard 1st edition received a hero's funeral Native Guard 1st edition the city with a large procession and thousands of attendees along the route on July Perhaps to of the original 1, members of the 1st Native Guard 1st edition Native Guard made this transition. Poor treatment by white soldiers and difficult field conditions resulted in many black officers resigning and enlisted soldiers deserting the Corps. By the end of the war, aboutAfrican Americans had served in the regiments of the United States Colored Troops. In contrast to the 1st Louisiana Native Guards organization, all field and line officers of the United States Colored Troops were white. At the war's end, approximately of the original 1, members of the First Louisiana Native Guard still remained in uniform in either the 73rd or 74th Regiments. Of the nearly 1, enlisted soldiers of the Confederate Native Guards, only were recorded as enlisting in the Union "Native Guard", and only ten of the 36 officers served the Union. The free men of color had varying reasons for volunteering to serve with the Confederacy, in part to preserve their own standing in the society, just as others did. Pinchbackwho came from the North to serve here, and others like him were free men of color who joined the Union militia for the first time and distinctly for that cause. Most of the Guard soldiers were African Americans who had escaped

  • A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo
    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

They record the social, political and economic lives of rich and poor, female and male, slave and free, African, Native, European and American colonials. Although the majority of the cases deal with attempts by creditors to recover unpaid debts, the colonial collection includes many successions. These documents often contain a wealth of biographical information concerning Louisiana’s colonial inhabitants. Estate inventories, records of commercial transactions, correspondence and copies of wills, marriage contracts and baptismal, marriage and burial records may be included in a succession document. The colonial document collection includes petitions by slaves requesting manumission, applications by merchants for licenses to conduct business, requests by ship captains for absolution from responsibility for cargo lost at sea, and requests by traders for permission to conduct business in Europe, the West Indies and British colonies in North America **************************************************************************** RECORD GROUP 2 SPANISH JUDICIAL RECORDS Acc. # 1849.1; 1867; 7243 Acc. # 1849.2 = playing cards, 17790402202 Acc. # 1849.3 = 1799060301 1769-1803 190.5 ln. ft (381 boxes); 2 oversize boxes Like the judicial records from the French period, but with more details given, the Spanish records show the life of all of the colony.

    The Celebration of the Bicentennial of the Louisiana Supreme Court Ceremonies The Louisiana Supreme Court celebrated its 200th anniversary on March 1, 2013. As a special session of court, the Louisiana Supreme Court justices presided over the Bicentennial ceremony, which commemorated the Court’s two centuries of legal heritage. The ceremony took place at the Louisiana Supreme Court’s courtroom at 400 Royal Street in New Orleans. The event was free and open to the public, with the option of one hour of CLE accreditation for Louisiana attorneys. Justice Greg G. Guidry chaired the Court’s Bicentennial Committee, which was in charge of planning the ceremony. Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Jay Dardenne was the master of ceremonies. After Lieutenant Governor Dardenne’s opening address, the Washington Artillery presented the colors, which was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, led by Donna D. Fraiche, President of the Supreme Court of Louisiana Historical Society. Bishop Shelton J. Fabre gave the invocation, and Chief Justice Bernette J. Johnson delivered welcoming remarks to the attendees. Four speakers discussed various aspects of the Court’s history, including A Walk Through the Streets of New Orleans at the Time of the Court’s Foundation, by Tulane Professor Richard Campanella; The Civilian Aspects of Louisiana Law, by LSU Law Professor John Randall Trahan; The Role of the Louisiana Supreme Court in the Early Civil Rights Movement, by UNO Emeritus Professor Raphael Cassimere, Jr.; and The History of the Louisiana Supreme Court, by UNO Emeritus Distinguished Professor of History and Bicentennial Court Historian Warren M.

The CCSRC is composed of nine total members, with one appointed by each Councilmember with a formal or informal background of the history and geography of New Orleans. Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the City Planning Commission appointed the remaining two members. The Commission was charged with several key responsibilities, which included conducting a thorough research and public engagement process to develop a comprehensive set of renaming recommendations for streets, parks, and places across the city. In the course of auditing the list of City streets beyond those initially identified by the New Orleans Public Library, the Commission consulted a panel of experts to provide an additional set of names, which was used to formulate the recommendations listed in this report.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CONFEDERATE FEDERALISM
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CONFEDERATE FEDERALISM: A VIEW FROM THE GOVERNORS Michael Albert Powell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Herman J. Belz Department of History Examination of Confederate fed eralism to date generally has emphasized one of two interpretations: that the Confederacy either “died of state rights” or that the Confederacy, because of the war -time demands, created a government at least as centralized as the Union, if not more so. Th is dissertation argues that the reality was much more complex. Confederate federalism consisted of three phases. The first, or the cooperative, phase was represented by a high degree of cooperation between the states and central government and lasted fro m the formation of the Confederacy until the spring of 1862. The governors freely provided troops, arms, and equipment to both the Confederacy and each other with minimal conflict over constitutional lines of authority. The second phase, from the spring of 1862 to the fall of 1864, was marked by conflict between the states and the Davis administration, with the differences resolved through negotiated compromises. While conscription was a war -time necessity, compromises were negotiated between the governors and the Davis administration over exemptions, use of state courts in deciding the constitutionality of conscription, and changes in the law itself. Impressment and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus were recognized by the governors as legitima te constitutional powers of the central government, but limitations were negotiated with respect to their enforcement. Lastly, fiscal policies were deemed by the governors to fall within the sphere of the Confederacy’s constitutional authority and therefo re beyond the scope of gubernatorial authority.
