The Creoles of New Orleans were composed of two groups, the Creoles and Afro-Creoles, (white-mix and blacks) who had different values, languages, occupations, and status of women.

New Orleans Creole in the 19th Century

The Creoles of Louisiana were the white, upper class, French speaking society of New Orleans. There were also the Afro-Creoles whose ancestry derived from Europe and African slaves. The “Creoles” (the upper class white society) were offended when the term became “indiscriminate[ly] used…to cover the colored Creoles as well as white French-speaking New Orleanians.” Today, the term Creole refers only to the Afro-Creoles.
