Louisiana - The Pelican State

Map of La.
State Motto  -  "Union, Justice, and Confidence."

The purchase added to the United States a region very different from others on the American map. The United States government made Louisiana residents go through a trial period before admitting Louisiana as a state.


On April 30, 1812, exactly nine years after the signing of the Louisiana Purchase, Congress admitted Louisiana as the eighteenth state in the Union.     http://lsm.crt.state.la.us/
