With the Federal occupation of New Orleans in 1862<\/a>, Afro-Creole leaders in that city, along with their white allies, seized upon the ideals of the American and French Revolutions and images of revolutionary events in the French Caribbean<\/a> and demanded Libert\u00e9, Egalit\u00e9, Fraternit\u00e9<\/em>. Their republican idealism produced the postwar South’s most progressive vision of the future. Caryn Coss\u00e9 Bell, in her impressive, sweeping study, traces the eighteenth-century origins of this Afro-Creole political and intellectual heritage, its evolution in antebellum<\/a> New Orleans<\/a>, and its impact on the Civil War<\/a> and Reconstruction<\/a>.<\/p>\n
