During the Revolutionary War, Lousiana was divided between the British and the Spanish. In 1777, Bernardo de Galvez arrived from Spain to serve as the Spanish Governor.

Those living in the village of Baton Rouge thought they would be ruled by Spain instead of England, which would mean Catholic control.
