'''New Orleans''' was a city located in southeastern {{Wiki|Louisiana}}, a critical trade route that linked the {{Wiki|Mississippi River}} and the {{Wiki|Gulf of Mexico}}. Founded in 1718, it immediately became an important economical, political and cultural center for trade and commerce.
==History==
===Spanish Louisiana===
In 1765, French rule over New Orleans ended and the city was officially handed over to the Spanish. During this time, the French governor of New Orleans, [[Jean-Jacques Blaise d'Abbadie]], made a deal with the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer]] to remain as governor provided he oversaw the hand-over of the colony to the Templars. However, he was assassinated inside his mansion by the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Aveline de Grandpré]] following a meeting with de Ferrer.<ref name="AC3L">''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref>
The following year, Spanish governor [[Antonio de Ulloa]] arrived in the city but was met with fierce resistance by French creoles. In 1768, during the [[Louisiana Rebellion]], he was forced into exile after being spared by the Assassin Aveline de Grandpré. Soon afterwards, a new Spanish governor was assigned to the city, who quickly regained control.<ref name="AC3L"/>
The Templar Order used this transfer of the colony to gain access to the highest levels of government and extend their operations.<ref name="ACE">''[[Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia]]''</ref> After setting up a covert slave trafficking operation, the Templars worked with French and Spanish officials in diverting slaves and vagrants from New Orleans to a work camp in Mexico to excavate [[First Civilization]] ruins in search of an artifact known as the [[Prophecy Disk]].<ref name="AC3L"/>
In 1801, Spanish rule ended and the city was handed back to the French. However, French rule ended two years later when [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] sold the colony to the [[United States]], a transaction directed by US President Thomas Jefferson.
