  13. Tocqueville Research: New Orleans • Tocqueville first impression: “Arrival at New Orleans. Forest of ships. Mississippi 300 feet deep. External appearance of the town. Beautiful houses. Huts. Muddy, unpaved streets. Spanish architecture: flat roofs; English; bricks, little doors; French: massive carriage entrances. Population just as mixed. Faces with every shade of color. Language French, English, Spanish, Creole. General French look, but all the same notices and commercial announcements mostly in English. Industrial and commercial world American.”

  14. Proposal • New Orleans is a very port-supported city because it is located by the Mississippi River and in the Gulf of Mexico. • We thought that because of the rivers coming into Pittsburgh, we could improve on your imports and exports because New Orleans was really successful with their ports so we should follow the example set for us.
