Although Louisiana was granted more extensive privileges than were accorded other Spanish colonies, restrictions were placed on
trade. Louisiana’s trade was limited to nine ports in Spain, and the passage of any ship that did not possess a captain and a crew that were two-thirds Spanish was prohibited. Trade with Great Britain and Mexico was outlawed and the importation of French wine into the colony was banned. –“Louisiana as a Spanish Colony,”
