New Orleans was a city located in southeastern Louisiana, a critical trade route that linked the Mississippi River and the 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 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 Assassin Aveline de Grandpré following a meeting with de Ferrer.[1]
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.[1]
The Templar Order used this transfer of the colony to gain access to the highest levels of government and extend their operations.[2] 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.[1]
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.
