Which former French colony adopted the Napoleonic code after it was sold to the US.

Answer 1

The former French colony that adopted the Napoleonic Code after it was sold to the United States is Louisiana. When France sold the Louisiana Territory to the U.S. in 1803, the legal system in the region was influenced by the Napoleonic Code, which was implemented in 1825. Today, Louisiana's legal system is distinctive among U.S. states because it is based on civil law rather than common law, reflecting its French colonial heritage.
