Answer 2

B. The insistence of the first American governor to institute an English only policy upset Creole leaders.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1803, Louisiana, after a brief stay as a colony of France, was sold by Napoleon to the United States. Once again, Creoles appeared to be strangers in their own land, and a change of power inevitably caused a change in all aspects of life. Suddenly, everything that was familiar and long-established became inappropriate, if not lawless. The first decades after the purchase of Louisiana by the Jefferson government were a period of economic and cultural prosperity in New Orleans. However, this was reflected more painfully in Creole vanity than the transfer of their territory to Spain only a few decades ago.
