All of Kenner's prized racehorses, most of his wine and liquor,
and the Kenner family silver were captured by the Federal troops
(and stuck in the thieves pockets). In 1865, in a desperate
attempt to get funding for the southern cause, Kenner undertook
a difficult trip to Europe as a minister for the Confederate
States. He had the authority to negotiate for financial support
from France and Great Britain.
Even though Ashland had been captured by the Union army, sugar
was still produced by the estate. (and the profit went into the
coffers of the union-this occurred where ever they took over and
in most cases the slaves were over worked and badly treated by
the yanks-josie) The sugarhouse and its machinery were left
undamaged. The overseer maintained control of the plantation and
its labor force throughout the war. During the last two years of
the war, Ashland was rented, and then confiscated by the
Freedmen's Bureau, a Federal agency formed to assist the freed
slaves. In 1866, Kenner returned from Europe, swore an oath of
allegiance to the Union and was repatriated, thereby recovering
the ownership of Ashland.
Not long after the Civil War, Duncan Kenner moved to New Orleans
to pursue his law practice. The workers on Ashland Plantation,
probably including Kenner's freed slaves, continued to live in
the antebellum quarters. Continued residence in the quarters is
partly explained by the nature of labor on sugar plantations in
the post-Civil War period. Following Emancipation, working for
wages replaced slavery on sugar plantations. As was the custom
on sugar plantations before the Civil War, sugar laborers were
organized into groups of workers who performed specific jobs
directed by an overseer. On many plantations, the antebellum
quarters were used to house these workers. The laborers were
paid either in cash or in credits for use at the plantation
store. A store, which was probably established soon after the
war, was operating at Ashland at the time of Kenner's death.

Ashland Plantation
Variant Names: Belle Helene
Location: Ascension Pa., LA
Constructed: ----
History: Duncan F. Kenner (1813-1887) built Ashland for his
wife, Anne Guillemine Nanine Bringier, a member of an old and
influential French family of Louisiana. Duncan F. Kenner was a
sugar planter, horse breeder, lawyer and political figure during
the antebellum period. The walls of Ashland (as the Kenner
plantation was then known) were adorned with paintings of
horses, and the grounds included a racetrack. Kenner himself was
a keen advocate of scientific methods of farming and
experimented with innovations in the sugar production industry.
Kenner is said to have been the first in the state to use the
portable railroad to carry cane from fields to mill.
When Kenner returned to Ashland at the end of the Civil War, he
found his plantation in ruins and his slaves freed, the place
having been raided by Union troops in 1862. At the age of 52 he
had to start over again. Re-employing as laborers the slaves
that had been freed, he built up an estate. When Duncan Kenner
died, his plantation was even larger and more valuable than it
had been before the war. In 1889, Ashland was purchased by John
B. Reuss, a German immigrant who became a prosperous sugar
planter. Reuss re-named the plantation "Belle Helene" in honor
of his granddaughter, Helene Reuss.

Message Board: Just to be sure we don't go overboard here, while
a few River Road plantation homes have been saved by
corporations who purchased the property, many, many more have
been demolished by those corporations, and many before the
1970's.
Remember Welham!? destroyed in the middle of the night by Ethyl
Corporation, or Uncle Sam, etc, etc, etc
Some of those saved are not even allowed to have their immediate
surroundings and landscaping left intact, which hardly deserves
intense accolades!
Nonetheless, I do applaud Shell, Mr. Wheeler, Dr. Bob Judice,
and Joe and his coworkers for their rescue and restoration work
on Ashland, which is truly a treasure.
KENNER, Duncan F., planter, born in New Orleans in 1813; died
there, 3 July, 1887. He became a wealthy sugar-planter, served
for several terms in the Louisiana legislature, and was a member
of the State constitutional conventions of 1845 and 1852,
presiding over the latter. He was a member of the Confederate
congress, and chairman of its ways and means committee, and in
1864 was sent by Jefferson Davis as special commissioner to
England and France, to secure the recognition of the southern
Confederacy. Much of his property was confiscated on the capture
of New Orleans in 1862, but at his death he was again a
millionaire. He was fond of horses, and owned one of the largest
stock-farms in the United States. Edited Appletons Encyclopedia,
