Praying for annexation to Mississippi Territory, rather than a separate existence or incorporation with Orleans Territory. In 1812, immediately after the admission of the last named as the state of Louisiana, the western or Baton Rouge district of West Florida was annexed thereto by Congress. The middle or Mobile district came into the Union in 1817 and 1819 as the southernmost portions of Mississippi and Alabama
