Louisiana Retrocession

One of those turning points of history that like most turning points is either forgotten or these days not even heard of.

The deluges returned yesterday, sadly.  The sun's just come out now for a bit.  Errands need to be done, but instead I'm messing about with the Retrocession  It's almost like messing about with boats, except instead of Ratty you have Toussaint, and instead of Toad you have Napoleon and instead of Weasels, Stoats and Ferrets you have Tallyrand. We also have Josephine, who might possibly be Pan? No, don't thinks so.  And who, pray tell are Adams, Jefferson and Madison?  The ragtag and bobtail?
