Our blog focuses on different aspects of Madame X, written by Gioia Diliberto. We talk about the characters in the story along with describing society during the 19th century.
French is a big part of culture in Louisiana because there were many ports that allowed French to settle in the country. The French culture was spread and diversified as a result. France and Britain occupied America, France specifically settled in Louisiana. People started speaking creole, which is a dialect that derives from French. Their language is an impact left on many people, demonstrating that France had a cultural influence. As history shows, America eventually became an independent and rising country. Their imperialistic attitude contributed to the Louisiana Purchase. The Louisiana purchase was a land deal between The United States and France, in which the U.S. acquired approximately 827,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi river for $15 million. Although the United States was able to acquire back that land, France had already left a cultural impact. From the way people spoke, to the way people dressed, France was everywhere.
