Wait until you realize that everything in white was French territory. We had colonized a lot more than just Louisiana :marseycool:

Actually, the St. Louis to New Orleans area had Creoles and Cajuns in decent numbers. They even built a couple monasteries.

Of course the original Louisana had parts of the eastern Midwest and there some French and French Canadian settlements before they lost the territory to the bongs.

:marseycope: A lot of cope dealing with knowing the only meaningful remaining impact your :marseydeux: civilization has had on North America is a bunch of caribou fricking Quebecois.

I honestly don't care much, it's just banter. Louisiana being sold was just the final nail in the coffin, the Seven Years war is pretty much what killed our ambitions in North America.

I care as much as I actually unironically love France and expect better. Sucks that in North America the burgers :marseymutt: are speaking English in a place named Des Moines, but at least the next hundred years are maybe looking bright for exploiting the Francophonie in a growing Africa :chadblack:

Having any sort of linguistic barrier between yourself and the utter r-slurredness that is burger stuff, not to mention actual :marseymutt: is a huge blessing. In hindsight losing the Seven Years War was the best thing that could ever have happened to the French.
