Louisiana was admitted to the United States as a state in 1812, the first state located at least in part west of the Mississippi River. In contrast to many other states in the Deep South that were dominated by the Democratic Party before the US Civil War, antebellum Louisiana was politically competitive between the Democrats and the Whig Party.
