This, however, was reversed in 1801 when the control of the colony reverted back to the French.In 1803, under the Louisiana Purchase, Napoleon sold the entire colony to the United States and henceforth became a cauldron of cultural mixing through immigrants settling there. Different quarters organically grew from the original French settlement and then also areas of Irish, Germans and Italians.New Orleans became the stage for one of the biggest battles in the War of 1812. A force of 11,000 British soldiers were sent to New Orleans with the intention of capturing the South. However the battle was decidedly won by the Americans on December 24th of 1814.
