Answer 1

Answer:The Kingdom of France controlled the Louisiana territory in North America from 1699 until it was ceded to Spain in 1762. In 1718, an early history of New Orleans defined the term “Creole” as someone born in the new colony as opposed to in Europe. This term has evolved in meaning throughout history. In 1803, the Louisiana Territory was sold to the United States for 68 million francs. This acquisition represents the largest gain of territory in U.S. history, as it nearly doubled the size of the country. After the Louisiana Purchase, New Orleans grew rapidly with more Americans, French, Creoles, and Africans, which caused some tension among the groups. The revolution in Saint-Domingue also brought many more people to the region, including refugees, whites, slaves and freed slaves. French was the language spoken in the territory though it later evolved to have local slang and phrases. Over time, the Creoles and Africans created a French and West African hybrid language called Louisiana Creole or Louisiana Creole French, which is still spoken in some regions today.

Explanation:The Cajuns, also known as Acadians  are an ethnic group mainly living in the U.S. state of Louisiana.

In 1754, France went to war with Great Britain in North America over lucrative fishing and fur-trapping efforts, a conflict known as the Seven Years' War. This conflict ended in defeat for the French with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. France was forced to give up their rights to their colonies in North America as a term of that treaty. During the war the Acadians were exiled from the land they'd occupied for over a century, a process known as the Great Disturbance. The exiled Acadians resettled in many locations including the British North American colonies, France, England, the Caribbean and for some, a Spanish colony known as Louisiana.
