reviewed Origins of Class Struggle in Louisiana on
One of the best studies of class conflict in a Southern state during the years leading up to, and following, the Civil War. Louisiana's complex society is described; the divergent interests of planters, poor farmers, former slaves, militant New Orleans Negroes, immigrant laborers and Yankee adventurers.
