Detailed explanation-1: -Antonio de Ulloa Ulloa was the first Spanish governor of Louisiana, and served under King Charles III. The French colonists rebelled against Spanish authority in 1768 and demanded his departure. He soon sailed to Havana.
Detailed explanation-2: -To establish Spanish colonies in Louisiana, the Spanish military leader Bernardo de Gálvez, governor of Louisiana at the time, recruited groups of Spanish-speaking Canary Islanders to emigrate to North America. In 1778, several ships embarked for Louisiana with hundreds of settlers.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the initial implementation of Spanish sovereignty in Louisiana, Governor Ulloa was the central figure. His brief administration and the stern policies of his successor Alex-ander O’Reilly aroused in the region strong feelings of re-sentment and aversion that have persisted.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1762 France ceded its Louisiana colony to Spain. Why did France give away such a huge swath of territory, and why did Spain accept the offer? The answers to these questions lie in the Seven Years’ War.
