Interesting those that say this never existed yet you can find announcements on these events. A Myth usually has some truth and is a story passed on orally through generations. In my family, these balls existed in the Creole of New Orleans.
Look up destroying the myth of quadroon balls by two New Orleans historians on the Nick Douglas channel. Because a lot of these stories of quadroon balls and placages are often exaggerated, mythologized or fake.
Why do people think that quadroon males/men did not exist? Quadroon men are the counterpart to the female quadroon's who did not wish to enter into a sexual relationship with white men as if ! I do not believe that the overwhelming desire of All female quadroons was to grow up and acquire a white man donor to achieve some kind of glorified mistress/other woman status. Ijs!
