Answer:
In the early 18th century the economy of France was depressed. The government was deeply in debt and taxes were high. In addition, the French-controlled the colony of Louisiana, a vast settlement in the interior of North America. The Louisiana Colony included the Natchez district and the area along the Mississippi Gulf Coast in present-day Mississippi. France was the first European country to settle this area of North America (1699-1763).
