Before the French and Indian War (the Seven Years War), the French held the colonies of Canada (Quebec) and Acadia, which were north of the British colonies in North America, and Louisiana, a vast and undefined territory west of the Mississippi River which included the city of New Orleans.

After the French and Indian War, the English held Quebec and deported many of the French inhabitants of Acadia to various locations along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, ultimately creating the Cajun (Acadian) culture near New Orleans as those refugees gathered there.

France eventually sold Louisiana to the United States of America.
