How did the events of the Civil War, including the Emancipation Proclamation, affect the lives of Black people in Louisiana

There were conflicting cultural and social tensions in Louisiana during and after the Civil War.

Explanation:

The political situation in Louisiana was different than in many other states during the American Civil War. Although the population of slaves in Louisiana had grown steadily where nearly half of Louisiana’s population came from slaves at the start of the war. There were also many free blacks in Louisiana, with one of the largest numbers of free blacks anywhere in the United States. The white population also tended to be more progressive in the major cities of Louisiana. Many of them favored emancipating the slaves.  Louisiana rewrote their Constitution in 1864 and abolished slavery by the plantation owners and merchants in the towns and cities, although black citizens were still not allowed to vote. It was also complex because Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 did not apply to Union-held territory and there were 13 parishes in Louisiana under Union control after the war and as the proclamation was given.
