Yep, as of 1814 in both this alt history and "real" history Louisiana was the only state carved out of the Louisiana Purchase. The next real state to enter (in 1816) wasn't from the Purchase either, it was Indiana. Obviously things will be different in this reality. In fact, in real life, there were four states admitted before a second state was carved from the Purchase (the 2nd state created out of the Purchase was Missouri, in 1820). As of 1812, when Louisiana entered the Union, the remaining territory of the Purchase was called the Missouri Territory.

I'll have a new installment in the story soon.
