00:00What would happen if Louisiana never joined the United States?
00:03With them never joining the United States, Louisiana would still be a part of France
00:07and would be located in the middle of the North America.
00:09However, since the majority of the people living there would be American,
00:13they would want to declare independence.
00:15With help from the United States, they would officially separate from the French,
00:18making them furious.
00:19France would send their entire army, but with them arriving,
00:22United States wouldn't let them land.
00:24With no other choice, France would declare war on the U.S.,
00:27but that wouldn't end well.
00:28After a couple of days, U.S. forces would absolutely crush them,
00:32making the French surrender.
00:33However, U.S. would expect that Louisiana would want to join them,
00:37but they would reject, wanting to be independent.
00:39Pretty soon, they would declare war on Louisiana, who wouldn't have a large army.
00:44Still, they would be able to hold on for some time,
00:46but would eventually be demolished and would become a part of the United States.
