Louisiana was purchased from Napoleon Bonaparte in 1803 by US President Thomas Jefferson for $15 million. At the time, the purchase doubled the size of the US and today, the original Louisiana territory is divided into 13 states. The state doesn’t have an official language, and residents speak French, Spanish, Vietnamese, and English. Key cities in the state are Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Louisiana is considered the birthplace of American Jazz and is home to Mardi Gras.
