Is New Orleans considered to be “East of the Mississippi River?”
the original "isle of orleans" was the only territory east of the river that france ceded to spain

In 1762, France, anticipating that Great Britain would take Louisiana at the end of the French and Indian War, in the Treaty of Fontainebleau transferred to Spain all of Louisiana west of the Mississippi River, as well as a newly-defined area east of the Mississippi which included New Orleans, called the Isle of Orleans.

They should already know this.
You are very intelligent and I appreciate all of your post.
