Louisiana Governor in the context of Louisiana Rebellion of 1768
The Rebellion of 1768, also known as the Revolt of 1768 or the Creole Revolt, was an unsuccessful attempt by the Louisiana French Creole elite of New Orleans, along with nearby German settlers, to reverse the transfer of the French Louisiana to Spain, as had been stipulated in the 1762 Treaty of Fontainebleau.
The rebellion forced the Spanish Governor, Antonio de Ulloa, to leave New Orleans and return to Spain, but his replacement, General Alejandro O'Reilly, was able to crush the rebellion, execute five of its ringleaders, and firmly establish Spanish control over the territory.
