Louisiana and Quebec are both settler-colonial territories at the mouths of major navigable rivers, and both have a history of Francophony. But why was French broadly displaced by English in Louisiana, while this has not happened in Quebec? What are the different historical factors that led to these different outcomes? In particular, what were the roles of the rivers, if any? What is the present language situation in these regions, and what would you predict the future language situations of these regions to look like?
The French people in Louisiana were Acadians who settled on the east coast of Canada. The English the forcibly moved em and a lot went to Louisiana cause it was French territory at the time. The French still had colonies and stuff in what would become America during the revolution and tended to aid the Americans cause they were fighting England. Quebecois are other French dudes thar settled in Quebec.
