L'Union launches the Afro-Creole French-language press

L'Union, a French-language paper started by a group including Louis Charles Roudanez and Paul Trevigne, first appeared in New Orleans on September 27, 1862, and added an English section in July 1863. After it stopped on July 19, 1864, Roudanez bought its equipment and two days later began La Tribune de la Nouvelle-Orleans and the New Orleans Tribune.
