I didn't understand. Is there or not? Case law is incompatible with the Napoleonic Code. Napoleon banned case law
The land wasn’t in the United States before the purchase happened…It made no sense for Jefferson to pay his enemy for land that was already in the United States. Paying the enemy is stupid, and Jefferson was no fool.
actually was, because troops from the west participated in the revolution.
What troops? There were no troops fighting in the revolution that came from the area that would later be the Louisiana Purchase. It was total wilderness and a few trading posts.
I recently read that the Western rebels were unhappy with Washington's corrupt pro-British policies. Louisiana was then part of the southern confederation, you "discovered America" for yourself lol
No, it wasn’t and as Winter asked what rebels?actually was, because troops from the west participated in the revolution.

Are you writing about the French General Lafayette who helped in the Revolution?
It has been well documented that the French helped in the Revolution but Louisiana was not a State at the time when the Thirteen Colonies left the Empire and declared independence!
Also I am starting to think you are confusing the Revolution and the War of 1812 and if so learn history before spewing your stupidity!
When it come to French history in the U.S. I better have a little knowledge on it seeing my Father side was French, and my native tongue is French.Yes, we had great help from the French. But not from the wilderness areas.
You are forgetting The Big Easy. My FOB relatives took up their old hobby when they got there (shooting at Redcoats) and helped in "Revolution II, this time its Jackson."What troops?

Do you mean the Confederacy? The state of Louisiana was, yes, but that 80 years later.I recently read that the Western rebels were unhappy with Washington's corrupt pro-British policies. Louisiana was then part of the southern confederation, you "discovered America" for yourself lol
OK. In any case, there was a Louisiana connection, because the Chief of Staff of the Continental Army was the Marquis Lafayette, a Frenchman who was obviously a representative of Louisiana. This must be studied.Do you mean the Confederacy? The state of Louisiana was, yes, but that 80 years later.
I don't believe he was ever in the Louisiana Territory actually, but he was French. I don't know if he was sent by France or just came over to remind the British that they smell like elderberries.OK.

I think the Iroquois were mostly in the Louisiana area, if Louisiana really was there.I don't believe he was ever in the Louisiana Territory actually, but he was French. I don't know if he was sent by France or just came over to remind the British that they smell like elderberries.

Lafayette himself was from a knightly family. He attracted the Iroquois confederation to the side of the revolution, this can also be considered the western troops of the revolution.
