The Florida Parishes constitute a historical region in the Kingdom of Louisiana spanning from the northern shore of Lake Pontchartrain in the west to Mobile Bay in the east reaching as far north as 31 degrees north latitude. Bordering the Florida Parishes to the north is the Republic of Georgia...

The one reason Spain would be interested in Greater Louisiana and at least everything theoretically French south of the Ohio River is that it would make the Gulf a Spanish lake, providing a theoretical overland connection between Florida and (the rest of) continental New Spain.

I understand why Spain would want Louisiana, but I don't know about France parting with it, and with the generous outcome for Spain in Italy, Madrid is in no position to contest French absorption of the Southern Netherlands. Britain, on the other hand, would have a problem with that, and might...
