Biography/History note	Louisiana has been a territory of Spain, France, and the United States. In 1803 the United Sates acquired the territory called Louisiana through the Louisiana Purchase. At this time, the territory included most of present-day Louisiana and most of the territory between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. The Territory of Orleans, which was roughly equivalent to the area of the present-day state of Louisiana, excluding the Florida Parishes, and the southwestern portion of the state, was split off from the rest of Louisiana. When Louisiana became a state in 1812, it included the Territory of Orleans and the area of the Florida Parishes.
