Bonjour Lyn ou plutôt Line,Comment ça va?
La Louisiane faisait parti de la Nouvelle-France (Lower Canada).
Napoléon (Emperor of France) sold Louisiana to the US for $15 million in 1803. At the time, it was the "greatest real-estate deal in the history of the US" and facilitated the opening of the continent by means the Mississippi River.
And we know the rest of the history.
Bye.
