An attempted racist coup took place in New Orleans by the Crescent City White League . 5,000 members of the white Confederate veterans militia fought the racially integrated New Orleans Metropolitan Police and state militia in what became known as the Battle of Liberty Place.

Being in the U.S. Army during these days must have been really something else. Reconstruction duty in the South, Indian Wars in the West.
