Banks ordered everything, dominated everything. He pretended to follow the law of the State, except as to slavery; but he had based representation in the convention on white popula- tion when the existing constitution required it to be based on the total population. He had given sixty-three delegates to New Orleans, though that city was entitled to only twenty- six. The new constitution had been adopted in convention by a vote of 66 to 16, which was ten less than the quorum fixed. Moreover, whe...n submitted to the people, it had been ratified in some parishes which had no representatives in the convention. General Banks had estimated the population to be for the most part within Federal lines, but his estimates were only guesswork. Whatever the number of voters registered, the smallness of the vote cast showed that Banks's action was not supported by the majority of the loyal vote of the State. Finally, Banks claimed that " equality before the law " had been granted to all citizens, but neither the " right " to vote nor to hold office had been granted the negro.
