Mass Meeting in New Orleans in 1874

Légende

On Monday morning, September 14, 1874, at 11 a.m., a mass meeting (shown in this illustration) was held at the Clay Statue on Canal Street in New Orleans. Resolutions were adopted requesting the abdication of Govenror Kellogg. This was refused and so the White Leaguers, as the protesters were called, dispersed to arm themselves. A battle began about 4;30 p.m. On September 17, Federal troops at New Orleans put down a revolt by the White League against the black state government. This was all part of the Reconstruction Period that followed the Civil War.
