A new exhibit in the Main Hallway explores the end of the Civil War in Louisiana.
1865 was a year of transition, as armies surrendered and soldiers and refugees returned to their homes. Four years of fighting had altered the landscape and upended the social order. Presidential policies dominated reconstruction efforts, focusing on restoring the civil rights of former rebels and on giving former slaves the education and employment they needed. The situation was unprecedented, and all parties seemed to have their own strong opinions on what needed to be done.
