Question

A popular governor of this colony gave out his own money to locals and built tents for the homeless after a fire destroyed most of this colony’s largest city on Good Friday. In this colony, many Filipino sailors who deserted their ships, called “Manilamen,” (-5[1])founded the town of Saint Malo. (10[1])This colony, (10[1])whose first Spanish governor was Alejandro “Bloody” O’Reilly, (10[3])was settled in the 1780s (10[1]-5[1])by thousands of Canary Islanders (10[1])called “Isleños” (“ees-LAYN-yohs”). This was the (emphasize) largest colony run by Esteban Miró, who entered secret negotiations with James Wilkinson. This (-5[1])colony, which (-5[1])changed (10[1])hands in (10[1])the (10[1])Third Treaty (10[1])of San (10[2]-5[1])Ildefonso, was given its name by the (-5[1])Sieur de La Salle. Robert (10[1])Livingston negotiated this colony’s final (10[1])transfer for (10[3])15 (10[2])million (10[4]-5[1])dollars. For 10 (10[1]-5[2])points, name this part (10[1])of New France that (-5[1])Napoleon (10[1])sold to the (10[3])US. (10[12])■END■

ANSWER: Louisiana [accept French Louisiana or Spanish Louisiana; accept Louisiana Purchase; prompt on New France or Nouvelle-France until “New France” is read] (The first clue refers to Esteban Miró helping out during the 1788 Great Fire of New Orleans.)
