TWO HISTORIES, ONE FUTURE: LOUISIANA SUGAR PLANTERS, THEIR SLAVES, AND THE ANGLO-CREOLE SCHISM, 1815-1865 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in The Department of History by Nathan A. Buman B.A., Iowa State University, 2006 M.A., Louisiana State University, 2009 May 2013 For Harper ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The saying goes that “it takes a village…” but I find this to be entirely inaccurate; if I only had a village to help me, my venture likely would have ended in failure.
