New Orleans 1763–1840 (AI Reconstruction)

Описание: Travel back in time to see New Orleans not as it is today, but as it actually was between 1763 and 1840. Using advanced AI reconstruction, we peel back the layers of the modern French Quarter to reveal the mud streets, colonial Spanish architecture, and the "swampy outpost" that would become a global titan of commerce.
In this video, we explore the forgotten visual history of the Crescent City—from the devastation of the Great Fires of 1788 and 1794 to the cultural shock of the Louisiana Purchase. Witness the transformation of the Place d'Armes (Jackson Square), the friction between Creole and American sectors at Canal Street, and the booming steamboat era that followed the Battle of New Orleans. We also confront the city's complex dualities: the splendor of the St. Charles Hotel alongside the grim reality of the domestic slave trade.
Experience the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of a lost world brought back to life.
