One of highlights of the short story desiree’s baby,
is time and the circumstances that described the events of the story, one of
them is Antebellum period.It was a periode in the history of the southern
United states also well known for European history in the region began in the
very earliest days of the exploration and colonization of North
America,Spain,France, and England eventually explored and claimed parts of what
is now the southern United states.From the late 18th century until start of
American civil war in 1861 which ended slavery in the United states and
destroyed much of the economic landscape of the south,marked by the economic
growth of the south,based on slavery driven plantation farming.
Take place in
Louisiana and Louisiana Creole people are persons descended from the
inhabitants of colonial Louisiana during the period of both French and Spanish
rule.As in many other colonial societies around the world,Creole was a term
used to mean those who were “native born”.It also can be applied to African-descenced
slaves and Native Americans who were born in Louisiana.
At the time in
Louisiana is also the the age of miscegenation, where it is the attitude that
rejects the discrimination race relations,including in the case of mixed
marriages between difference races,this attitude is maintaining racial purity,
and do everything possible in order not contaminate by interbreeding between
races.The etymology of the word is tied up with political conflicts during the
American Civil wars over the abolition of slavery and over the racial
segregation of African-Americans.
Monsier and
madam valmonde a Wealthy French Creoles in Antebellum Louisiana had found baby
girl latter named desiree which undefined whether she African ancestry or not.latter
she had grown and married with Arman aubigny another son of wealthy French
Creoles Famly.At the time they had child the shocking truth had revealed
because their child had considered African ancestry which immedieatly assumes
Desiree is part of black or African ancestry. At the age of miscegenation
Armand cannot accept the truth he had been contaminate by inter breeding
between race ,which latter cast out desiree and burn all related to her and his
child.
