Sounds borne of a blend of African American folk music and country music, Memphis music legend W. C. Handy is widely regarded as the Father of the Blues, having recorded "The Memphis Blues" in 1909 – a song that is thought of as the first blues song to be written down and recorded in history. As for Rock ‘n’ Roll, Memphis was just one of several cities where the ‘cultural collision’ that created such expressive music occurred – a situation where former slaves found themselves now living in proximity with white Americans in major American cities like Memphis, St. Louis, Cleveland, and New York City. The incredible number of Memphis-made musicians throughout the first half of the 19th century and beyond, including the King of Rock and Roll himself, Elvis Presley, highlights just how vital the music scene here was.

Jackson Square, a park area formerly known as Place d’Armes, is one of the most important places in New Orleans. Sitting in the heart of the city’s French Quarter, this is where the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 was finalised – a land deal that saw the United States acquire a staggering amount of territory from the French Republic.
