While you may be right, the author has a valid point.

He absolutely does. I just don't 100% agree with it.

St. Louis wasn't as secluded as New Orleans and was near other large cities in the Mid-West, I would guess.

I'm not surprised you find so much humor in the truth.

The history is a combination of Cuba's, Haiti's, and Paris's. It's that mixed.

Please pinpoint the falsehood in anything I've said. You're doing nothing but flaming.

Having your city heavily settled by people from these cities/nations almost 200 years ago is not the same thing as having a true shared history with them. If you're not apt enough to understand that, then fine, but don't be a child about it. Adults don't pick on people simply because they disagree.

Haiti and Cuba have a shared history with the rest of the Caribbean. Paris shares its history with France. I recognize these facts, but I suppose I can't stop New Orleanians from deluding themselves into claiming how "unlike" the rest of the South they are.
