It might be instructive to study the reaction of Louisiana French patriots to the tranfer of Louisiana to the Spanish, after the war we call the French and Indian War, most of Europe calls the Seven Years War, and the Brits call the War of Jenkins Ear. I think it's also called the War of Austrian Succession.

The French Louisianians didn't want to be Spanish subjects, and a number of them lost their lives.

Funny how the competing claims for empires seem to have been forgotten now. Not so then.

Now we remember how opulent the empires turned out to be, how rich each individual claim. Which is true. The wealth was/is astonishing.
