Who was an important leader of Louisiana?
There is no real important leader of Louisiana except for recent representatives and senates. The Louisiana was originally bought from Napoleon during the Louisiana Purchase but he found the land to be too swampy to be useful and he sold it. Leader wise I suppose Napoleon would be one but he didn't want the land shortly afterwards.

Who did the U.S. buy Louisiana from?
The United States purchased the Mississippi River valley from France as the "Louisiana Purchase" in 1803.Thomas Jefferson authorized the purchase of New Orleans from Napoleon after discovering it would be ceded back to France by Spain. The object was to ensure US access to the Mississippi for transportation. Napoleon offered to sell all of the territory Le Louisiane and Jefferson's representatives (Robert Livingston and future president James Monroe) accepted.
French control of Louisiana upset Jefferson because he feared France would do WHAT?
Jefferson feared that Napoleon (the new leader of France after their revolution) would try to start an empire in Louisiana and take over the United States and also the rest of the world. Another reason is Napoleon had planned to close the port of New Orleans to American shipping. Spain secretly made a bribe with Napoleon to take Louisiana territory if France would leave the Spainiards alone and not attack them and take over their territory. Napolean made the deal, but did NOT plan to keep his end of it.
How do you suppose the US would be different today if France had not sold the Louisiana Territory to us?
If we had not purchased or they had not sold Louisiana, we probably would've fought for it, and lost due to Napoleon's superior strategies. I cannot tell you what life would be like today but there definitely would've been a battle of Louisiana.
Did Napoleon Bonaparte ever visit Louisiana territory?
Napoleon had a vision of a renewed western empire for France, and his schemes included the recapture of Louisiana from Spain. Control over this vast territory would halt the westward expansion of the young United States and would supply French colonies in the West Indies with the goods they needed. In 1800, Napoleon signed the secret Treaty of Ildefonso with Spain, an agreement that stipulated that France would provide Spain with a kingdom for the son-in-law of Spain's king if Spain would return Louisiana to France. However, Napoleon's plan collapsed when the twelve-year revolt of slaves and free blacks in the French colony of Saint-Domingue succeeded, forcing French troops to return defeated to France and preventing them from reaching their ultimate destination--Louisiana--and from being able to defend it. As Napoleon's New World empire disintegrated, the loss of Haiti made Louisiana unnecessary.
