Fact #2 Order No. 28 – Many of the city's women, in particular, expressed contempt by insulting Union troops. “As officers and soldiers of the United States have been subject to repeated insults from the women (calling themselves ladies) of New Orleans… we are ordered that when any female shall by word, gesture, or show contempt for any soldier she shall be regarded and held liable to be treated as a woman of the town plying her avocation.” Fact #3 Baton Rouge falls – Farragut continued his attacks up the Mississippi river and captured BR.
