#5I am unfamiliar with New Orleans' history and am confused by the article: "The Second Municipality, which the Americans controlled..." and "The First Municipality included all of the French Quarter..."

Did the Second Municipality, American-controlled, have the French language dominate? Or is one of the preceding sets of statements off a bit?

The second set of statements is in error...it should read "In the Second Municipality, English...".

#10Good to see the verb "whap" getting an outing. Is that a word with which American readers are familiar?
