Many of my old stomping grounds in this video and I’m only 63 and they’re still there. Great upload! 🎨⚜️🎭
I’m so fascinated by the worlds history I find myself looking at these old videos more than tv now a days
A film from a 100 years ago talking about the old historic city of New Orleans. Wow.
First of all, the nerve of saying Creole houses are ugly at 3:25! Secondly, I believe the house they show immediately after that false statement is Madame John’s Legacy, one of the French Quarter’s oldest remaining homes built in 1789. It now houses a small museum at the 632 Dumaine St. location.
Also that guy walking by at 3:31 should get off his phone while walking! 😂
To think if the lady was even 75 (though I suspect she was older) we are looking at a motion picture of someone who was born in (or before) 1848! 5:00
And slavery was still legal. So the old lady was most likely to have been a slave herself
Happy as in the olden days? Wowzer
something only a degenerate uneducated backwards racist would say.
Lived in new orleans all my life. still here. this was fascinating. Thanks for the upload
and those two smokes stacks at the end of the film are still there visible from the GNO bridge just past annunciation st
The stacks your thinking of are from the Market St plant
A fascinating piece of the city's history. And to Nancy Collister; it is true that there were and are injustices, regardless of race. To see only one side of any situation is always dangerous. But to ignore them is to allow them to happen again. Historical documents like this are necessary to remind us over time, lest we forget.
Yes indeed ! A wonderful rare historic film ! There must be only a small amount of film footage like this in existence from this pre 1927 period. Thank You So Much For Sharing It ....... I so very much enjoy watching it.
" Truly a Reel Treasure ! "
AnotherWiseAss You enjoy watching African Americans mistreated in the stockade? Smh. Pathetic ❄️
I like that this film calls out the cruelty of the founding Spaniards, and shows the stocks. But no mention of the cruelty of the old South with its slavery -- the film is admiring of Gen. E. Lee.
This is the year my mother was born.
March 3 1923.
Great video! Tha is for posting!!
So Creole people are African, Spanish, Indian, and French...
Jazmyn Brown I’m from New Orleans. My dad mother families are Creolés; he told me that, what he mixed with, “African, French, Spanish, Irish or Scotch-Irish, Native American tribes (Chickasaw, Choctaw, etc..), Italian, etc...”
Jazmyn Brown and you’re correct
Indian, French, German
@@ms.titianabab7133 a melting pot just like in many latinoamerican countries.
Yeah but Black.
my paternal grandfather cut cane, it was interesting to see that last part for sure.
My God - this is such a find! I keep watching and watching and this old Uptown chick is absolutely, gob-smacked... Thank you, copies of this should be in museums and made available to film archivists, a few of whom I'm about to send this now... Thank you!
Pray 🙏🏾 for my city!
Im just learning about this now..
I like the peg legged man just walking down the sidewalk at about 3:10 lol
Bravo. That is a specific detail that we also picked up on! Obviously, the rest of the world just blew past it, without a 2nd thought. (Who was he? An old sea farer, perhaps? HOW did he lose his leg? And, what was he doing there at that particular moment in time?) We will never know. The good thing is: we both caught it. So, no matter what that man's history was, he won't be forgotten. Because of this video, he will stick in our heads forever.
Probably a pirate.
so Kool!!!!! LOVE NOLA!!!!!!!!
⚜️
LOVE,LOVE NEW ORLEANS!!!
We came a long way. Love my city.
⚜️ great video ⚜️
110 miles from the sea!! It ain’t NEARLY that far away now. Spanish Fort is nearly underwater.
Accurate to the fact that when men are shown WORKING, it is black men.
I noticed that too
Of Course, this silent film forgot to mention A CRUCIAL PART OF NEW ORLEANS HISTORY. That New Orleans would never have been a U.S territory if it was not for the Haitian Revolution that made Haiti the first Black republic. After being whooped by the Haitians slaves, France needed money to re focus his war against british and had no option but to sell All Louisiana for 15 million dollars to the US. If the slaves in Haiti did not beat the french, 1/3 of what USA is would have never existed. USA should have thanked Haiti for this but instead made sure to NEVER teach this in school ( smh!! no surprise there) Fact number 2, After the purchase, the first time that Americans came to Louisiana, they were shocked. 1/3 of Haitians ( the Free educated blacks ) mixed with French whites were actually living together and the city was well advanced and already had a working system without the HARSH punishment of slavery. They were shocked to see mixed races, black intellectuals and so on...we all know what happened next, they had to F$% it up and do what create division
I would like to learn more about this, I'm of Haitian and Grenadian descent on my father side I have never quite understood how my Haitian / Grenadian creole great grandfather ended up in Louisiana... during slavery no less. I have oral history but we know how that can change over time.
@@ourblazingworld Here is one of the most studied and reliable documentary of the Louisiana purchase and the vital impact that Haiti had. THANK ME LATER: ruclips.net/video/0A-HpEqeda0/видео.html
I ripped my pants open from my crotch down to my foot climbing on those old iron balconies. I was trying to retrieve some beads that landed on the outer edge during Mardi Gras. Ruined a perfect evening.
Great video. Soon LaToya Cantrell will drive everyone out.
Looks like Saint saint denis
Sound not working btw
Didnt record sound back then.
This is what arthurs life could have looked like
No the buildings are not Spanish !!!!! Their French inspired. From our French ancestors it’s called the French quarter
You are incorrect pal
No I’m NOT don’t tell me about where I was born and grew up at u mad
@@romedavis1941 but it's where I was born and grew up too, but one of us has to be wrong (it's you)
@@romedavis1941 French quater in name only. The remains are all Spanish. The French built parts were destroyed in the great fires.
The most racist place on planet Earth was New Orleans.
TJ LSU DAD Elaborate??
TJ LSU DAD You’ve never been to the North East. Try Boston TJ. You’ll screw back down south soooo fast!
@@bayougtr you've never been in New Orleans or heard the stories about it in the 1960s and earlier. I met an older white man when I was driving lyft and he told me about it. He was From the East Coast Bronx New York and he said he visited here in the 50s and it was not black people friendly at all. All of the white people here were hateful. My great uncles R.I.P and Grandparents said the same thing. When more black people started to move in the city in the 1960s all of the racist whites moved to Metairie, well most of them.
@@bayougtr There's streets and corners you can visit in New Orleans where slaves were sold in the 1800s. Esplanade and other spots in the French Quarter
Rob103 TJ LSU DAD You both should read what I wrote, but you won’t. I can tell neither of you two have lived in the North East. Like it or not New Orleans is nothing compared. I live here, save the lesson grasshopper
They forgot to talk about how the Moors ruled over the Crescent City which was named after the Crescent moon found on many flags. And how there was a previous advanced civilization long before we are told and many of their buildings still exist in New Orleans and all over North America.
The name comes from the curve of the River. If you would look at a map you would see it.
@@jakurdadov6375 The river curves all the way down across all cities.
@@jakurdadov6375 I live in New Orleans, BTW. The Crescent City.
@@phill8005 I was born in Hotel Dieu Hospital and lived in New Orleans until I graduated from UNO. I have family there and visit multiple times every year.
Which buildings date back to Moorish rule or to previous civilizations? I'd like to go see them. Do the present occupants know?
Yes, there are other curves in the River. But, the City is embraced by one particular crescent-chaped curve from Nine-Mile Point to Algiers Point. It is from this curve that the City gets its nickname.
Calling our people Creole is just another way for them to put us against each other that word is just another byword and proverb put on us so we wouldn’t learn who we really are the 12 tribes of Israel
Psalms 83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
Psalms 83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
Psalms 83:4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
Psalms 83:5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
It's shameful that taking down Civil War hero statues are and have been taken down. Why erase history?
Erase history. Or leave some other history out of the books completely
They didn't, it was moved to a museum. It's 2020, no need for historical figures who fought to keep slavery going waving in front of Black people who make up most of city's population now.
New Orleans Lady RACIST!!!!
@@breezey64 I wouldn’t call you racist...... merely ignorant.
@@queencerseilannister3519 it really didn't bother me, just a statue for the pigeons to Sh#$ on... but I do understand how it bothered some so I'm fine either way. LOL
