the french possession was the land owned north of the Louisiana purchase .
The English Claimed Florida controlled the entire east coat while Spain got modern day new Orleans and Louisiana
You have a misunderstanding here. Louisiana purchased nothing, the US purchased the territory that France identified as Louisiana which was much larger than the modern state of Louisiana. French Louisiana included all lands west of the Mississippi river except the southwest (claimed by Spain) and the Pacific northwest (claimed by England and Russia). However the precise boundaries of the Louisiana Purchase were (and still are) uncertain.
Louisiana was originally claimed by the Spanish but was first settled by the French.
Hernando de Soto claimed Louisiana in 1541
After they claimed the same land as the British there was a long fight called the French and Indian war. The British won so the French lost that land but in the end the French claimed Louisiana to Ohio.
After the English were thrown out in the Revolution, France still owned a large piece of the continental US. This was sold to the US in the Louisiana Purchase.
France did, but in 1803 in the Louisiana purchase the U.S.A. bought the land from France for 15 million dollars.
