Louisiana

Louisiana is one of the fifty states that make up the United States of America. It was the eighteenth state admitted to the U.S. on April 30, 1812. Louisiana was also one of the eleven states that seceded from the U.S. in 1861, as one of the Confederate States of America, until the end of the American Civil War in 1865. It was formally readmitted to the United States on July 9, 1868. Louisiana is the thirty-first largest state by area, and the twenty-fifth largest by population.
