Answer:
'New Orleans' was settled by the 'French in colonial times', and they have made a 'lasting imprint' on the region’s culture.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Not until 'Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte' sold the territory of New Orleans in 1803 to the newly formed federal union of the USA, it was well under the control of the French who had a well-settled colony there.
- The French style of art, architecture, dance, and music had a profound influence on the region's culture.
