Actually, I expected worse. They implied that the Creoles of Color were antislavery, when many of them were slaveowners. They also stated that Louisiana was the only place in the South where "free people of color" could own property. Another myth was that marriages between "whites" and "free colored" were not allowed anywhere in the South.
