"Affairs in New-Orleans: Large Numbers of Citizens Taking the Oath of Allegiance – 2-4"

In the sort of irony our FRiends like jeffersondem thrive on, a prime motive for the good citizens of New Orleans to swear allegiance to the USA is so that they can keep their slaves, at least for the time being.
Those remaining loyal to the Confederacy will have their "contraband" slaves confiscated, per Union law.

What can I say?
