A few only gained the Mississippi and made their way to Canada.
In 1699, another French expedition appeared in the Gulf of Mexico.
This time, the mouth of the Mississippi was easily discovered, but the colonists settled on the shores of Mobile Bay.
It was not until 1718 that New Orleans was founded.

Struggle for the Ohio Valley At the close of King George's War, the French set to work to connect the settlements in Louisiana with those on the St.
Lawrence.
In 1749, French explorers gained the Allegheny River from Lake Erie and went down the Ohio as far as Miami.
The next year, 1750, King George gave a great tract of land on the Ohio River to an association of Virginians who formed the Ohio Company.
The struggle for the Ohio Valley had fairly begun.
Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia learned that the French were building forts on the Ohio and sent them a letter protesting against their doing so.
The bearer of this letter was George Washington, a young Virginia surveyor.
97, George Washington.
Of an old Virginia family, George Washington grew up with the idea that he must earn his own living.
His father was a well-to-do planter, but Augustine Washington was the eldest son, and, as was the custom then in Virginia, he inherited most of the property.
Augustine Washington was very kind to his younger brother and gave him a good practical education as a land surveyor.
The younger man was a bold athlete and fond of studying military campaigns.
He was full of courage, industrious, honest, and of great common sense.
Before he was 20, he had surveyed large tracts of wilderness and had done his work well amidst great difficulties.
When Dinwiddie wanted a messenger to take his letter to the French commander on the Ohio, George Washington's employer at once suggested him as the best person to send on the dangerous journey.
