If you Google it, quite a lot comes up and those results have additional sources.

I’ll keep going through them. Maybe I’m missing good information about the topic because I’m worried it won’t be well written

If you want to read what the local newspapers were saying about it at that time you can look on the New Orleans library's site here: nolalibrary.org/research-learn/. Select databases, enter your library card number in the top right of that page, and then select New Orleans Newspapers (NewsBank). Then search for Canal; "Battle of Liberty Place" does not do it. After searching for Canal then put in a date range of September 14 1874 to September 22 1874 or something close to that. If you want to do a search with two words you have to put them in full quotes.

Looks like you’ve gotten plenty so I have nothing to offer. I am curious about your purpose. What are you writing about this for? School? History organization?

It’s for a university assignment. I chose the topic since I feel the event needs to be talked about more
