    Louisiana Bourbons

    Louisiana Bourbons

    The term Bourbon refers to the white rulers throughout the South at the end of the Reconstruction period. The Bourbons were democrats who ruled Louisiana until well into the 20th century. After 1877 cotton and sugar planters along with wealthy New Orleans businessmen reigned over the state; many of them were sons or grandsons of those that ruled before the Civil War. The Bourbon Democrats of Louisiana quickly realized that they would not be able to completely return to the plantation South of 1860, so they slowly entered into modern times by securing monetary investments from the North and overseas, which brought industrial capitalism to Bourbon Louisiana. When it came to maintaining white supremacy and maintaining a conservative fiscal and tax policy, the Bourbons were firmly planted in their antebellum ways. They believed that even though the institution of slavery was now deemed illegal, they still held their beliefs that blacks should remain subordinate because they were mentally and morally inferior. The Bourbons also believed that "cheap, docile black labor was essential," in the "period before the advent of mechanized agriculture." The Bourbons believed that the Government's main concern should be with the protection of life and private property, thus reducing budgeting for public schools and other institutions. Mayor Jastremski of Baton Rouge, and Henry J. Hearsey the editor-publisher of the New Orleans Daily States, were both "strident reactionaries." They lived in the past and hated the North immensely. Conservative Democrats in Bourbon Louisiana believed that the white voters were "susceptible to racial appeals, and would tolerate all manners of fraud when committed in the name of white solidarity." In 1878, a Kentucky man by the name of Edward A. Burke, became the state treasurer. Burke represented Louisiana's whites when the 1876 presidential election came into dispute. The Compromise of 1877 solved the issue involving the allocation of Louisiana's…

    What is happiness many may ask such a question but for a young boy named Douglas Spaulding in a novel by Ray Bradbury it seems to be the idea of summer, by definition and it doesn’t matter what happens as long as its summer whether its life death and throughout more death that life but that’s not the point it that Doug seems to stay happy and unlike most kids today he seems to stay happy even without machine and though the death and despair that he sees consistently throughout the novel. Ray Bradbury perfectly portrays the definition of happiness in a young boys eyes by showing how a little bit of imagination some magic and little things in life and make up for anything including death.…

    A Summary of Dandelion Wine

    Imagine a certain part of town where during the day, it is a very peaceful and calm place to be. However, night time is a different story. The place is dark, spooky, filled with strange noises and the howling wind. It is now a place where young, beautiful women are ruthlessly murdered. There is a place like this in Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine. If any sane person had a choice, they definitely wouldn’t traverse across that horrid place, especially right after another death had been committed. A very cocky, foolish person on the other hand would dare to be out at such a time as this. The setting, foreshadowing, and characterization create suspense in Dandelion Wine.…

    Besides, Riesling wines contribute only about 1,000 cases of wine, and the whole winery produced about 25,000 cases of wine bottled each year. Since the Riesling takes only about 4% of winery’s total production and the decision analysis only affects a small proportion of winery revenues, an expected value approach is used (not expected utility approach).…

    Fine Wine

    The board of FWPL were approached, in July 2012, by Doctor Cooper of USC with an unsolicited and confidential proposal for the manufacture of his wine cask invention. While standard wine casks generally ensure a 12 month use-by-date, his Long Life Cask enables wine to be consumed 20 years after bottling, even if opened and resealed. The FWPL board were the only ones to have knowledge of the invention at this time. The full board briefly considered the proposal at its regular monthly meeting. However, given its complex nature and the fact they had never received a similar proposal before, Nick Galli suggested that he personally liaises with Dr Cooper and determine its benefits, in detail, and report back in six months. Nick’s suggestion was accepted. In six months, Nick reported back with a recommendation that FWPL not take up the offer as it was too speculative a venture with no certainty of success even though FWPL bottled and casked their own wines. Without a written report and with little discussion, the board resolved to advise Doctor Cooper that no action be taken on his proposal. At the next monthly board meeting, Nick resigned. Nick then immediately set up his own business and exploited the Dr Cooper design. The manufacture of the new cask proved to be very successful from the outset and Nick’s company quickly made a seven figure profit exporting his product to the world. The board and membership of FWPL soon discovered Nick’s success. The board called an extraordinary general meeting of members, Mario moved a resolution ratifying Nick’s actions in taking the cask opportunity from FWPL. All members supported the resolution. However, Simon voted against it and said that if the meeting passed the ratification resolution, he will take statutory derivative action himself against Nick. Mario said that Nick is family and we cannot sue him. Simon said that he will not pursue the matter if Mario steps down as Managing Director and he is appointed to that role. Refer…

    Italian Prosecco

    The grape varietal commonly known as “prosecco” or more traditionally known as “glera” is used to produce a fruity, simple, and refreshing sparkling wine that comes form northern Italy and is called “prosecco.” The steep slopes of northern Italy lead to the production of a light and fruity bubbling wine, often compared to champagne. The areas of Italy that are known for the production of prosecco are Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, which are part of the larger region of Veneto (Mionetto Prosecco, n.d.). Because of the frequency and slope of the hills in Veneto, prosecco thrives in this region versus the flatlands. The vines are protected from the cold alpine winds and icy rains from the north because of this slope (Mionetto Prosecco, n.d.). This location’s climate has characteristically hot days and cool nights with warm and dry summers.…
