| | Louisiana Purchase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Spain also held that the purchase was illegal; because the treaty handing Louisiana to the French had stipulated the French were not allowed to hand it over to a third power, and because Napoleon had not adhered to his part of the treaty (giving a kingdom in Italy to the brother-in-law of king Carlos IV). | | | A strong America would be a buffer against Britain when the inevitable showdown came (there is also the possibility that he wished to encourage the USA to assist with his embargo on strategic resources reaching the British, the Continental policy). | | | Napoleon added the money from the sale of the Louisiana territory to his massive war chest and began his plans to control the European continent. |

| | Colonial Louisiana |
| | Although most settlers in Louisiana were of the Catholic faith, a few were Protestants or Sephardic Jews. | | | Among the many ethnic groups in colonial Louisiana were people of French, Canadian, Spanish, Latin American, Anglo, German, and African descent. | | | This practice did not work well in Louisiana at first, however, because Louisiana had too few desirable products to export and too few people to exploit what natural resources existed. |

| | The purpose of this paper is to pull together the scant writings on the Louisiana Redbones and to present from those materials an account of their arrival in Louisiana, where they settled and how they lived. | | | The state has avoided large scale massacres, deportations or forced migrations of its ethnic groups such as that which led to the "Trail of Tears." Reasons for this relatively benign treatment of minority groups are varied and speculative. | | | Tommy Johnson has interviewed members of the Cloud family who are members of the Louisiana Redbone community. |

| | Louisiana Purchase: Historical Perspectives, 1682-1815 |
| | Louisiana was a richly multi-cultural frontier in which different ethnic groups jostled for power and primacy. | | | When Spain gained control of Louisiana in 1762, its policies with regard to land grants were markedly different from those of the French regime. | | | The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 did not begin Anglo-American immigration into the area, it simply legitimized a process that had begun more than a decade earlier (Wall, p. |

| | Louisiana Secretary of State/Museums/Old State Capitol/Louisiana Purchase - What IS? |
| | By the 1840's, most Americans fervently believed that it was the destiny of the nation to extend from sea to sea. | | | Spanish forces in Louisiana assisted the new United States in the War for American Independence. | | | Debate over the purchase and over the addition of an "alien population" to the United States was intense with the New England states eager to condemn the acquisition of Louisiana and the frontier states of the South and West just as eager to defend it. |

| | Louisiana had been claimed for France by LaSalle in 1682 and named to honor Louis XIV. | | | This was a matter of concern to the president; Spain was a declining power and offered no threat to the United States. | | | Napoleon was at war with Britain and thought it unwise to court distraction by having to defend New Orleans. |

The majority agreed. | | | As a result, generations of Americans for nearly 200 years have been the beneficiaries of Jefferson’s noble vision of America and his efforts at expanding the continent. |
