Nowhere in the United States did the Age of Democratic Revolution exert as profound an influence as in New Orleans. In 1811, hundreds of Saint-Dominguan, African, and Louisianan plantation workers marched downriver toward the city in the nation's largest-ever slave revolt. In 1809-10, refugees of the Haitian Revolution doubled the size of the city.
Together with the refugee soldiers of the Haitian Revolution (both Black and white), their presence proved decisive in the Battle of New Orleans. Itinerant revolutionaries from throughout the Atlantic congregated in New Orleans in the cause of Latin American independence. After defeating the British, the soldiers rejoined the struggle against Spanish imperialism.
In Creole New Orleans in the Revolutionary Atlantic, 1775-1877, Caryn Coss Bell sets forth these momentous events and much more to document the revolutionary era's impact
