...Ryan Williams 10/27/15 Refugees of the Haitian Revolution and Their Impact on New Orleans Regions of Southwest Louisiana possess a very distinct culture that are commonly accredited to the French. Although this may be true it is also true that this area is strongly influenced by the refugees of Saint-Domingue during the Haitian Revolution. The Haitian Revolution occurred from 1791-1804, during this period thousands of refugees fled from this Island to other parts of the Caribbean. Eventually, New Orleans became the final stop for many of these refugees. The mayor’s report of January 18, 1810 published in the Moniteur de la Louisiane shows a chart shows the racial movement of 1809 compared to the population of Orleans Parish in 1806 and 1810 by racial caste. This is important because the influx of Haitian refugees further amplified the division of the already existing caste system in New Orleans among slaves, whites, and free persons of color. This account of the refugee’s racial classification was very important during this time because the three main groups had different ranking in the caste systems, yet played pivotal roles in the development of New Orleans. According to Fiehrer “Saint Domingue took the form of an uneven triangle of power distribution, with the rich and officialdom at the top, the affranchise (free men) at one corner and the modest whites at the other. Excluded, from political participation at least, were the over half-million slaves” [Fiehrer.11]. As...

...TUI University Module 2 – SLP ART101 – Art History Jean-Louis Andre Theodore Gericault (1791-1824) was a very prominent French artist, painter, and lithographer. He was considered a pioneer of the Romantic movement even though he lived such a short time. He was born in Rouen, France. He studied for a time under Pierre-Narcisse Guerin but soon left to study at the Louvre. He was influenced by his life – his military career, his time at the Louvre, his time at Versailles and the horse stables, a trip to Italy, etc. (1) He was known as a chaotic and tempestuous person but an almost obsessive artist. Gericault would do intensive research on his art – studying, interviewing people, recreating events, etc. He would check out body parts from the local morgue and keep them in his apartment to study them at various decaying stages and sketch them. (2) He also painted a series of portraits of the insane from patients of Dr. Etienne-Jean Georget, a pioneer in psychiatric medicine. (1) Romanticism focused on the soul. It went beyond logic and went to emotion. It focused on the fantastic and wild. It was about the artist feeling and expressing in a way that the observers could also relate. Brush strokes were quick as opposed to the methodical preciseness of Neo-classical works. The Romantic period was influenced by the Age of Enlightenment and the Revolutions. “Orthodoxies were gone, old certainties were undermined, philosophy questioned the logical order of the universe;...

...venture, a cheap way of making gun stocks, he was well paid for this work, and made a fortune. And even though his greatest invention, the cotton gin, brought him no money, it won for him great glory, and, the best of all rewards, the feeling that he had helped slaves, and made their work easier. Still, Whitney’s invention did harm. The planters, seeing they could now make much money by growing cotton, bought more and more slaves. A lot of slaves were acquired from Africa from unkind slave traders, who brought them down to the coast in crowds. They were then taken aboard vessels, where they were packed so closely, and had so little air, that many of them died and were “buried” at sea. From 1790 to 1810, close to 100,000 slaves moved to the new cotton lands to the south and west. From 1810 until the Civil War, 100,000 slaves were forced westward each decade -- a half million in total. As cotton agriculture spread, tobacco farmers, whose crop was no longer making money, profited greatly by selling their slaves. This domestic slave trade devastated families. American born slaves were taken from plantations they knew as home all their lives and were forced hundreds of miles away from their family. Finally, on January 1, 1808, Congress banned the international slave trade, a right approved under the terms of the U.S. Constitution. Blacks throughout the country celebrated the long-awaited event. Even following the ban, however, an illegal international slave trade sustained. The cotton...

...Furthermore, events of James Madison being a president. Just prior to James Madison's assumption of office, Congress passed the Non-Intercourse Act of 1809, which replaced Jefferson's failed embargo. It allowed the resumption of world trade with the exclusion of trade with England and France, thus barring French and British vessels from American ports. In the event that one of these nations removed its restrictions against American trade, the President was empowered to remove restrictions against that country, leaving the restrictions in place against the other. When neither country replied, Congress passed Macon's Bill No. 2, a perplexing law that removed all restrictions on American trade, including those against France and Britain, empowering...

...On September 28, 1810 Miguel Hidalgo, a priest, reached the town of Guanajuato (Buscador.com). Here Hidalgo found Spaniards had locked themselves in granary along with many valuables including silver. This was a large and very fortified structure. The walls where made of stone and rose several feet. The structure had hardly any weakness. Hidalgo and his forces, which greatly outnumbered the Spaniards, stood outside the granary with whatever weapons they could acquire. It was then that Pipila took action and became the hero we know today. When he worked the mines he would strap a stone to his back to protect him from falling debris (Chester Mexonline.com). As the Spaniards waited in Alhondiga de Granaditas for backup, Pipila tied a large flat stone to his back...

...Indeed anyone who has endeavored playing the piano knows about the song “Fur Elise”. Composed by Beethoven in 1810, it still to this day plays an essential role in the music industry. It’s mournful and grief filled tone expresses agony and connects with listeners experiencing hardships alike. Many composers have replicated and produced this song in numerous formats. Among them, Georgii Cerkiin and Orion’s Reign have produced intriguingly decent forms of this song. Mr. Cerkiins very original elegant version conveys the same message the composer intended to convey. However the same may not be said about the band Orion’s Reign. There very metallic version of this classic puts feelings of excitement rather than sorry. Although both Orion’s reign and Georgii Cerkiins version of “fur Elise” follow similar patterns, Cerkins mournful, elegant classic, allows listeners to feel sympathy for the losses of others. Furthermore, the song “Fur Elise” once analyzed deeply has historic and very personal meanings. Although historians have argued about the theories of this song one very popular theory is that of Dr. Kopitz. The song title is “Fur Elise” which in German means for Elise. One can come to the conclusion that Beethoven dedicated this song to an Elise. Dr. Kopitz has a theory that Beethoven was in love with...
