Happy Birthday, Louisiana!

Louisiana 

was admitted to the Union 

as the 18th state 

on

April 30, 1812.

Two centuries later, we say, 

"Happy birthday, Louisiana!"

"You Are My Sunshine" • Eastern Brown Pelican • Bald Cypress • Catahoula Leopard Dog • Magnolia • "Union, Justice, Confidence" • Blue, White, and Gold • Baton Rouge • Louisiana Iris • Approximately 4,468,976 People • Parishes Not Counties • Honey Bee • "Give Me Louisiana" • Alligator • Black Bear • Diatonic Accordion • White Perch • Petrified Palmwood • Milk • Agate • "You Are My Sunshine" • and more . . .

One of these days, 
the people of Louisiana
are going to get good government,
and they aren't going to like it.
