French claimed all the lands from the Mississippi River. Sailor Rene-Robert Cavalier, Sieur de la Salle was the first French explorer to find the land of Louisiana. When he arrived, he found that they were not the FIRST people to live or explore this area of land. These previous inhabitants were the American Indians, therefore nearly creating a war over the land.
