Challenge: With a POD after 1803, have the State of Louisiana maintain a Francophone majority till 2010. (IE, a large Anglophone minority is permissible, but 51%+ of the people speak French as a native language).
Oh, idea!
During the 19th century there was a lot of emigration of french canadians, probably as much as half of the province's population, which is why the Laurentians were eventually opened to colonization in order to stop the bleeding; if you divert enough of it you could end up with a majority french Louisiana with Tyr's idea.
Ummm... "State" of Louisiana, as in US State? Don't think it's possible. There was a HUGE flood of Anglo settlers from Kentucky and Tennessee.Challenge: With a POD after 1803, have the State of Louisiana maintain a Francophone majority till 2010.
