It's interesting how Cable became riveted in Quadroon Balls which is best represented in Tite Poullete and Madame Delphine but in all honesty they captured the essence of New Orleans and many pointing out the problems that were happening at that time. Quadroon balls represented both good and evil in many aspects. On a positive note, they were a form of entertainment that reflected the unique culture of New Orleans. Here you have a unique city where all races and cultures merge, Cable called it a "hybrid city" and to completely capture how the city became exactly that it would take a book but for some he quickly got it published, New Orleans, before it was sold. in the United States was founded by the French and under Spanish rule for 30 years, five years after the French and Indian War, the colony was returned to the French under Napoleon (degas17) and all this happened before the war civil. New Orleans became a place where Indians, Africans and European settlers could come together and in some ways New Orleans seemed to be more of a way to be socially accepted due to the wide range of cultures that were then and today closely linked. Unfortunately, where cultures mix there will be conflicts and one of them is interracial marriages and black and white affiliation. Because of the diversity, it was envisioned that this would happen and the interworking of social customs such as the slave trade and the "Placement" system, once unmasked by Cable and his works, caused an uproar in New Orleans . Social tensions may have been present, but once presented and brought to light, angry people felt that their situation, whether slave ownership, members who attended the balls Quadroon gave a bad perception of...... middle of paper. .....expression that would take a long time to describe-) (Deys32) Cable wants to give his audience mixed feelings about quadroons. It seems that the overall notion of the quadroon is portrayed as sad, but it features "the exotic and melancholy beautiful, mixed-blood women of the antebellum period and proclaims, as many visitors to New Orleans, the success of these sirens in pleasing men" and "their perfection of form, their varied styles of beauty, - for there were even pure cacasion blondes among them - their fascinating manners, their sparkling vivacity, their chaste and pretty spirit, their grace in dancing, their modesty. , their taste and their sartorial elegance. In the sweetest and most poetic sense, they were indeed the sirens of this land, where there seems "always afternoon" a momentary triumph of Arcadian civilizations over Christian civilizations.
