Major French colonies were located in Acadia, Canada and the Mississippi River Valley, along the Gulf coast in what is today Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The colony of Louisiana was ultimately founded in 1699. Napoleon Bonaparte abandoned plans for a North American empire and sold the entire Louisiana territory to the United States, a sale referred to as the Louisiana Purchase.

Tje Louisiana Territory replaced right into a brilliant hunk of land, extending from the Gulf of Mexico up with the aid of the Mid West...fantastically reliable deal, pondering the quantity of fur the territory contained at that element. It gave us the Mississippi River and all lands to the two element, the Ohio River, very almost all of the proper south. We offered a pair of million/3 the present US with that purchase.
