LUISIANA PURCHARSE : On April 9, 1682, a grup of French explorers stood on the banks of Mississippi River.They were the first Europeans to see the huge delta where the Mississippi River ended. Spanish conquistadors had explored the Mississippi region more than a hundred years before La Slle, but Spain had not established colonies in area.Then, in 1776, the thirteen ENGLISH COLONIES IN NORTH AMERICA declared their independence form Great Britain and became the United States of America. Then the goods were shipped form New Orleans to the Esast Coast of the United States or to Europe. The Mississippi River became an important highway for trade and commerce, and New Orleans was a major port on the great waterway.
