In the series premiere of “Blood and Oil,” we examine New Orleans & South Louisiana’s little-known history. Not voodoo curses, ghosts, and the antebellum romance you’ve heard a hundred times, but what happened afterward… the rampant greed, corruption, and exploitation that defined 1900s Louisiana, when many discovered that their American Dream was actually a waking nightmare of blood and oil.
