Alice,
read paragraph 4 from this article on casket or correction girls. As I
remember my Louisiana History from 8th grade( many years ago) the girls were
brought here to LA. to marry some of the male settlers. Of course the history
text book said nothing of they being brought here to satisfy mens sexual
desires. I guess that statement was to risque for 8th graders and the authors
cleaned the facts up to present to such young minds in the 60's.
