Louisiana
Feliz [49]

The correct answer is B.

Louisiana, also known as French Lousiana was an administrative district of the whole region controlled by France in North America, called New France.  The name of the territory was decided in honour of King Louis XIV of France.

This territory was controlled by France but not really developed due to a lack of funding and human resources. After the French defeat in the Seven Years War, part of the territory of Lousiana was lost and transferred to the British winners.

<em>In fact, the names of those places abovementioned are clearly derived from the French language (for example, rouge= red in French, or the surname Delocroix which is French too). </em>
