In 1813 a free man of color named Charles Decoudreau living in New Orleans went to court to repossess a house on the edge of town he had sold two years before to Charles Lamerenx, a white man from Saint Domingue. Despite being on opposite sides of a racial divide, the men and their families had much in common as "Atlantic creoles." In this study, I test the meaning and explanatory power of Ira Berlin's concept of "Atlantic creole" by telling the story of two families, one "black" and one "white," whose paths briefly crossed in New Orleans in 1811
