This section of the Encyclopedia Louisiana contains biographical information about the interesting people who have developed, lead and populated of the colony, territory and the State of Louisiana.

Some pages will explain the jobs of officials, particularly colonial officials. Also included will be additional information about groups and people who influenced the development of Louisiana even if they never traveled to our corner of the world.

Most of the biographies are in the form of a timeline and many of the entries match timeline entries for important events.
Groups

1835 - The Native American movement, viciously bigoted at first, protected the rights of native born Louisianians such as Creoles and latter turned to hatred of anything not traditional Anglo-American and Protestant. The movement helped divide New Orleans into three municipalities in 1836 and poisoned ethnic relationships. Fear of slave insurrection and supposed plotting of subversive abolitionists leads to more restrictive state strictures on racial matters suppressing robust and creative free black population.
