 Liberty Place
A critical event in the sequence leading to the Wormley Agreement, often overlooked, took place on September 14, 1874 in New Orleans where General James Longstreet, as head of the Louisiana State Militia, moved to quell an incendiary mob whose purpose was the violent overthrow of the government of Governor Kellogg, a much reviled carpetbagger.
But the outraged members of the Knights of the White Camelia in New Orleans did make a point which probably figured heavily in the "deal of 1877." Reconstruction by Radical Republicans had been a disaster, and a new tragedy of missed opportunities for reconciliation was about to unfold.
But the "Battle of Liberty Place" was a pivotal event, rippling across the country's political and social landscape, leading to major Democratic gains at the polls in 1874, and signaling the beginning of the end of Reconstruction.
