Yes/ no. In the 1700's New Orleans was not under their control. In 1762 France signed it over to Spain, but in 1803 it was sold to the United States.

The United States stood to gain the most from Pinckney's Treaty in 1795. The treaty, negotiated with Spain, secured important concessions such as free navigation of the Mississippi River and the right to deposit goods in the port of New Orleans. These provisions greatly benefited American farmers and traders, who relied on these waterways for transportation and access to international markets.
