> I have a friend from Quebec. She came to our area and her accent was just like ours. I am assuming it is the french in us. I was soooo amazed. Cajuns are from Canada!!!!


Bonjour Lyn ou plutôt Line,

Comment ça va?

La Louisiane faisait parti de la Nouvelle-France (Lower Canada).

Napoléon (Emperor of France) sold Louisiana to the US for $15 million in 1803. At the time, it was the "greatest real-estate deal in the history of the US" and facilitated the opening of the continent by means the Mississippi River.

And we know the rest of the history.

Bye.
