What effect did the multiple ethnic groups settling in Louisiana have on the culture

Louisiana

America has 50 states, and each one has managed to contribute something to the national culture. The Southern state of Louisiana, however, may have gone a bit overboard. The birthplace of jazz music, the gateway to America's westward expansion, and the site of annual Mardi Gras pilgrimages, Louisiana has played a major role in American history. It also has a complex history of its own, which has given Louisiana one of the most ethnically complex populations in all 50 states.

History of Louisiana

To really understand Louisiana's ethnic complexity, we need to take a quick look at its history. Located along the Mississippi River Delta, this fertile region was home to various Amerindian populations for millennia, including a culture of mound builders, notable for their massive earthen platforms and agricultural society.

Europeans entered in the 16th century when the French colonized the territory and named it after King Louis XIV of France. In 1718, the port city of New Orleans was founded to manage the fur trade emerging throughout North America and shipped along the Mississippi. New Orleans quickly became one of the most important ports in the Americas. However, at the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763 France was forced to cede it to Spain. France regained control in 1800 under Napoleon Bonaparte, but he chose to sell it to the Americans in 1803 to pay for his imperial plans in Europe. Over time, the Louisiana Territory was parceled off into various other territories and states. Louisiana as we know it became a state in 1812.

Explanation:

Yes, James Madison would define modern corporations as "factions."  He saw factions as groups of people with shared interests (especially financial ones) that group together to gain advantage for themselves over others in society.

Madison's apprehensions about factions focused especially on the role of money and property in creating competing groups in society based on their wealth or property holdings.  Landholders could be such a faction.  Banking and moneylending agencies could be such a faction.  We could add that large modern corporations are factions in the same sense.  They might work their will against the majority of the people.  

Madison argued that factions of any kind war against the unity of the republic.  Factions consider only their own position, rather than the rights and well-being of the whole community or nation.
