Louisiana purchase 1803
One of the most significant events in United States history was the Louisiana purchase of 1803 which was signed on 30 April by Robert Livingston, James Monroe, and Barbé Marbois at Paris.
It resulted in the almost doubling of land area of the United States at that time.
What would North America look like today if this did not happen? Would French America have defeated the British in the north (with a divided Canada)? Would Spain still have held on to its territory in the west coast of America?
Would Americans now be speaking French instead, and eating baguettes and croissants instead of burgers?

........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........
I managed to go outside for a short time this morning when my human hung out some washing. I spent most of the day napping as usual, except when I helped my human watch his taped tv programs like LAX.
Jimmy and Lily's humans, Brian and Jacki came over for dinner. They had roast lamb with mashed potato and sweet potato, and baby brussel sprouts and broccolini (a strain of broccoli with longer stems). They finished with a self saucing chocolate pudding for dessert.
I managed to sit on Brian's lap for some time which was excellent. Hey, I didn't get any of the lamb!! I only had chicken wing for dinner.
