Bayou Contraband History
Bayou Contraband is a body of water located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, United States. Its history dates back to the 19th century, when it was a thriving waterway used for transportation of goods and people.
However, during the Civil War, Bayou Contraband became a haven for escaped slaves seeking refuge from their masters. It was a strategic location, as it provided a natural barrier that made it difficult for slave catchers to pursue runaways.
