X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The first significant migration of Chinese
  people into Louisiana&nbsp\;took place during Reconstruction&nbsp\;after 
 the American Civil War\, between 1867 and 1871. Local planters&nbsp\;impor
 ted hundreds of Cantonese contract laborers&nbsp\;from Cuba\, California\,
  and directly from China as a low-cost replacement for slave labor.&nbsp\;
 By the mid-1870s\, nearly all of these laborers had abandoned the plantati
 ons and migrated to Southern cities\, especially New Orleans\, in search o
 f higher pay and better working conditions. The laborers became workers in
  factories\, workers in levee and railroad construction projects\, fisherm
 an\, grocers\, and especially laundrymen. As they put down roots in the co
 mmunity\, they continued to influence the development of New Orleans and i
 ts surroundings to this day.</p>\nhttps://neworleans.libnet.info/event/163
