The Federal Government literally told all of the Cajun grandparents that English was the language of the land and they had to speak it to use government services. Which is basically one of the main reasons it died out as a language and requires active effort to keep alive to this day.
So why did Spanish get the exact opposite treatment?
The US govt spent more money destroying Native language than saving them.

1803 LA Purchase set into motion the 1812 State Constitution. This is what you're referring to. The speakers of Creole ( American creole, the definition of creole is a blend of languages) weren't locals, they migrated from Nova Scotia.

Tx - remember the Alamo? Only imaginary lines changed, the people with generational homes didn't move. They also chose to be annexed. They had more say. That's just history.

Creole ain't Cajun you stupid nigger. Creole when it refers to the language in Louisiana is a mixture of the Acadiana losers from Canada and Caribbean imports, which is where the voodoo culture gets mixed with the black slaves already there. Its primarily spoken in the mid section of the state because that's where both settled. Cajun French is a direct descendant of French population itself that has been slowly bastardized to its current form, and it is mostly found along the coast itself.
You shouldn't try to say what I'm referring to when you don't know a damn thing about it other than some irrelevant articles.
