Louisiana admitted to the Union as the 18th state on April
30, 1812. This admission occurred during the presidency of James
Madison. Louisiana's admission followed the Louisiana Purchase of 1803,
in which the United States acquired a vast territory from France,
doubling the size of the country. The process of Louisiana's statehood
involved negotiations over its boundaries and political organization,
eventually leading to its admission as a full-fledged state in 1812.
