Antebellum New Orleans: King Cotton Diplomacy and the Slave Trade
Louisiana Purchase 1803 Courtesy of Washington.edu Napoleon Bonaparte Courtesy of history.org Thomas Jefferson Courtesy of history.org The Louisiana Purchase took place in 1803-  As Napoleon was trying to fund the war in Europe he sold the Louisiana territory to the United States. Jefferson, was hesitant to make the purchase at first, as the constitution did not cover the purchase of new territory, he purchased the Louisiana Territory for 13 million dollars.

At the end of the colonial era, the New Orleans population only reached 10,000 people.
New Orleans at the Purchase of the Louisiana Territory, 1803
The Map above depicts New Orleans  in 1815, only 12 years after the Louisiana Purchase, showing significant growth on the Riverfront.
King Cotton Diplomacy Cotton was the number one raw material that new Orleans traded, it also helped to promote slavery as another economic ‘resource’. The Confederacy also relied heavily on the port of New Orleans and King Cotton Diplomacy as they felt assured that the importance of the New Orleans port and cotton trade would guarantee them a victory.
Slave Trade ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Prior to the Louisiana Purchase the black and white population in New Orleans often intermingled, as there were not enough women for the white men, the man would often move a black mistress into his home.
New Orleans Culture Courtesy of state.la.us Mardi Gras which started in Louisiana in the late 17 th  century continued to be one of New Orleans yearly cultural events bringing people from all walks of life together. Masquerade Balls also played a large role although, they were year round until outlawed in the mid 1800s. The balls allowed all walks of life together including ‘Negros’ and lower class whites. Voodoo played a large role in New Orleans culture, not only did many superstitious blacks take part but, there was a majority of the white population that also practiced Voodoo rituals. Nonetheless, it was the black population saw it as a way to have a control over their own lives.
