Answer:

They didn't, somewhat.

White Louisianans (the French who lived there at the time) were granted immiedate US citizenship.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Louisiana Purchase created confusing political circumstances within the Territory of Orleans. The treaty granted immediate citizenship to white Louisianans, who were eager to enjoy what they considered the rights of U.S. citizenship.
