Why Claiborne, Wilkinson, and Laussat?

On November 30, 1803, Spain’s representatives, Governor Manuel de Salcedo and the Marqués de Casa Calvo, officially transferred Louisiana to France’s representative, Prefect Pierre Clément de Laussat. Although Laussat had been instructed to transfer Louisiana to the United States the next day, twenty days actually separated the transfers, during which time Laussat became governor of Louisiana and created a new town council.

Thomas Jefferson selected William Charles Cole Claiborne, former governor of the Mississippi territory and highest-ranking civilian official in the vicinity to govern lower Louisiana. On December 20, 1803, Claiborne, along with General James Wilkinson and Pierre Clement de Laussat of France, signed the transfer document giving lower Louisiana officially to the United States.

Backing Claiborne with military power was General James Wilkinson. On December 20, 1803, in the Sala Capitular, these two commissioners signed the transfer document with Laussat, giving lower Louisiana officially to the United States.
