Why did the spanish recruit groups of people, such as the isleños, to louisiana?

they hoped to increase the size of the militia in louisiana and the isleños

were skilled soldiers.

they wanted more spanish speaking families, like the isleños, fo carry on

spanish traditions in the colony

they knew the isleños were from the caribbean and experienced in

establishing a successful colony

they took pity on the isleños people because had been expelled from

spain and were in desperate need of a new place to settle.
