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 final battle of the War of 1812 was fought in defense of New Orleans. Andrew Jackson led a coalition of pirates, free blacks, and Tennessee volunteers to defeat the British.
