Post a response of at least 300 words to Frederick Law Olmsted’s “Journey in the Seaboard Slave States” (Ch.11 ONLY, the chapter on Louisiana), available at the following web address: http://docsouth.unc.edu/nc/olmsted/menu.html Questions to address should include: what characteristics does the Northern-born author attribute to Southerners?

What seems to be his attitude toward Southerners? How might Northern and Southern audiences have responded to his observations? Make sure to comment on specific passages in the work, citing page numbers. Then respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts, making sure to discuss the substance of the post and advance the discussion.
