Interstate 49 (I-49) is an Interstate Highway that spans a total of 243.13 miles (391.28km) in a north–south direction in the U.S. state of Louisiana. It runs from I-10 in Lafayette to the Arkansas state line north of Shreveport, largely paralleling the older US 71 corridor, and connects the state's two east–west interstates at two of its metropolitan centers. Along the way, it serves the cities of Opelousas, Alexandria, and Natchitoches, intersecting several cross-state highways, such as US 190, US 167, US 165, US 84, and I-20. 5.25 miles (8.45km) of the route is still under construction between I-220 and LA 1 on the northwest side of Shreveport, necessitating a detour via I-220 and US 71/LA 1. The project is scheduled for completion in the summer or fall of 2017.
I-49 was an intrastate Interstate Highway until December 12, 2012, when the designation was officially approved for an upgraded portion of US 71 in Missouri running from Joplin north to Kansas City. Portions of the remaining roadway between Shreveport and Joplin are in various stages of planning or construction, as well as a southern extension of the route from Lafayette to New Orleans along the US 90 corridor.
I-49 begins in Pineville. It passes through many smaller communities before reaching Joplin. In Joplin, I-49 junctions with I-44 and begins a short overlap with I-44 for exits 11 through 18.
Just a few miles east of Joplin, I-49 leaves I-44 and heads north and enters Carthage. I-49 then passes through Nevada and other communities before reaching the Kansas City area. I-49 intersects with I-435 which provides connection to I-35 and I-29.
Much of the state's lands were formed from sediment washed down the Mississippi River, leaving enormous deltas and vast areas of coastal marsh and swamp. These contain a rich southern biota; typical examples include birds such as ibis and egrets. There are also many species of tree frogs, and fish such as sturgeon and paddlefish. In more elevated areas, fire is a natural process in the landscape, and has produced extensive areas of longleaf pine forest and wet savannas. These support an exceptionally large number of plant species, including many species of orchids and carnivorous plants.
On November 2, 1913, the Louisiana departed from Lorain, Ohio to deliver a load of coal to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After completing her stop in Milwaukee, the Louisiana made way for Escanaba, Michigan to pick up a load of iron ore. In the early morning hours of November 8, the ship passed through Porte des Morts. Upon reaching the strait, she was greeted by a severe snowstorm. The captain attempted to take refuge at Washington Island in Door County, Wisconsin, but the heavy seas and howling wind proved too strong for the ship's anchors to hold her in place, and she was run aground.
Despite the situation on board the Louisiana, the crew opted to remain aboard the vessel rather than taking the one small lifeboat they had out to the raging seas. However, a fire broke out in the cargo hold later in the morning and the crew members were left with no choice. A rescue ship had been deployed from Plum Island, but the breaking waves were too powerful for the ship to be able to reach the crew. In the end, the crew was able to make it to shore.
The town was founded in 1817 by John Walter Basye and named after his daughter, Louisiana Basye. Other notable early residents were Samuel Caldwell and Joel Shaw, both of whom purchased land from Bayse in 1818. All three properties became the original town plat and comprised mainly riverfront properties. Many of the towns residents trace their ancestry to these town pioneers. Louisiana proved to be a profitable shipping point on the Mississippi River, and that wealth led to numerous substantial antebellum homes. Many of those still remain and, along with the Georgia Street Historic District in downtown Louisiana, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has noted that the town has "the most intact Victorian Streetscape in the state of Missouri."

Louisiana - The US Explained
Among the swamps and bayous, marshes and forests, that sit at the mouth of one of the largest river systems on earth, sits a state unlike any other. It’s a cultural melting pot, sitting in the Deep South, home to one of the largest Black populations in the country, and more culturally connected to and shaped by France than any other state in the US. Its culture, history, geography, and society is vastly different from anywhere else in the country, and a world away from even its neighbors, it occupies an outsized role in the American imagination.

Ten Commandments MUST be displayed in Louisiana schools
Starting Jan. 1, 2025, all public elementary, secondary and post-education schools in Louisiana must display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
Critics vowed to challenge the law in court, calling it unconstitutional and warning that it will lead to religious coercion of students.
“The First Amendment promises that we all get to decide for ourselves what religious beliefs, if any, to hold and practice, without pressure from the government,” the Louisiana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Freedom From Religion Foundation and other groups said in a joint statement Wednesday. “Politicians have no business imposing their preferred religious doctrine on students and families in public schools.”

Steps -
Soak dried beans overnight or use drained canned beans.
Chop onions, celery, bell peppers, and andouille sausage.
In a medium-high pan, cook the sausage for 4-5 minutes or until seared and browned.
Remove the seared sausage from the pan and sauté onions and garlic in the same pan until fragrant with butter. Add the bell peppers and celery, and cook until they soften.
Add flour and cook until the flour is gone. Season and mix until well combined. Reintroduce the andouille sausage and add chicken broth with bay leaves.
Bring the pan to a boil, then add the beans and, if desired, smoked turkey. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 hours and 10 minutes, or until the beans and turkey are tender and the liquid thickens into a rich sauce. If the mixture becomes too thick, add more water or broth. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish with parsley and green onions, and serve with rice for a complete meal!
Tip - For a creamier texture, mash some of the beans against the side of the pot using the back of a spoon.

It’s kind of like a foreign country within the United States. In order to really get to know the state of Louisiana, we have to look at the whole state and explore each and every area.
This is Louisiana. Now as you can see there’s a lot of different regions in this state. In fact, this might be the most diverse state when it comes to region by region differences. First off, they don’t use counties here. They’re called parishes. And just about each parish has its own distinct culture, and way of life and even accent. If you moved here, you’d likely be a little overwhelmed with the differences from region to region.
We’re gonna begin up here in Northern Louisiana.

Starting Jan. 1, 2025, all public elementary, secondary and post-education schools in Louisiana must display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
Critics vowed to challenge the law in court, calling it unconstitutional and warning that it will lead to religious coercion of students.
“The First Amendment promises that we all get to decide for ourselves what religious beliefs, if any, to hold and practice, without pressure from the government,” the Louisiana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Freedom From Religion Foundation and other groups said in a joint statement Wednesday. “Politicians have no business imposing their preferred religious doctrine on students and families in public schools.”
The law requires a context statement to accompany the commandments, positioning the text as “a prominent part of American public education” from the late 17th century through the late 20th century. Schools have to use donated posters or spend donated money, rather than public funds, to purchase the displays.

Steps -
Soak dried beans overnight or use drained canned beans.
Chop onions, celery, bell peppers, and andouille sausage.
In a medium-high pan, cook the sausage for 4-5 minutes or until seared and browned.
Remove the seared sausage from the pan and sauté onions and garlic in the same pan until fragrant with butter. Add the bell peppers and celery, and cook until they soften.
Add flour and cook until the flour is gone. Season and mix until well combined. Reintroduce the andouille sausage and add chicken broth with bay leaves.
Bring the pan to a boil, then add the beans and, if desired, smoked turkey. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 hours and 10 minutes, or until the beans and turkey are tender and the liquid thickens into a rich sauce. If the mixture becomes too thick, add more water or broth. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish with parsley and green onions, and serve with rice for a complete meal!
Tip - For a creamier texture, mash some of the beans against the side of the pot using the back of a spoon.
Does everyone in Louisiana drink all the time?
Does everybody have each other’s back?
And does EVERYONE in Louisiana have a laissez faire attitude?
We’ll go over those tidbits, plus a whole lot more! So all yall grab a daiquiri and some crawdaddies, we’re going to unbox the state of Louisiana.
Aww. What’s going on here? Looks like they’re setting up crawfish traps. Yum. That means it must be spring time! Everyone in Louisiana loves springtime. The weather isn’t too muggy, there’s no hurricanes coming yet, and of course, it’s crawfish season.
They love their crawfish here. Just like they love nature and their culture.
But Louisiana is much more than swampy crawfish stew. It’s actually a REALLY super diverse state, with lots of tough folks and there’s some real issues, too. It’s kind of like a foreign country within the United States. In order to really get to know the state of Louisiana, we have to look at the whole state and explore each and every area.
This is Louisiana. Now as you can see there’s a lot of different regions in this state. In fact, this might be the most diverse state when it comes to region by region differences. First off, they don’t use counties here. They’re called parishes. And just about each parish has its own distinct culture, and way of life and even accent. If you moved here, you’d likely be a little overwhelmed with the differences from region to region.
We’re gonna begin up here in Northern Louisiana.

Among the swamps and bayous, marshes and forests, that sit at the mouth of one of the largest river systems on earth, sits a state unlike any other. It’s a cultural melting pot, sitting in the Deep South, home to one of the largest Black populations in the country, and more culturally connected to and shaped by France than any other state in the US. Its culture, history, geography, and society is vastly different from anywhere else in the country, and a world away from even its neighbors, it occupies an outsized role in the American imagination.

Starting Jan. 1, 2025, all public elementary, secondary and post-education schools in Louisiana must display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
Critics vowed to challenge the law in court, calling it unconstitutional and warning that it will lead to religious coercion of students.
“The First Amendment promises that we all get to decide for ourselves what religious beliefs, if any, to hold and practice, without pressure from the government,” the Louisiana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Freedom From Religion Foundation and other groups said in a joint statement Wednesday. “Politicians have no business imposing their preferred religious doctrine on students and families in public schools.”
The law requires a context statement to accompany the commandments, positioning the text as “a prominent part of American public education” from the late 17th century through the late 20th century. Schools have to use donated posters or spend donated money, rather than public funds, to purchase the displays.
Interstate 49 (I-49) is an Interstate Highway that spans a total of 243.13 miles (391.28km) in a north–south direction in the U.S. state of Louisiana. It runs from I-10 in Lafayette to the Arkansas state line north of Shreveport, largely paralleling the older US 71 corridor, and connects the state's two east–west interstates at two of its metropolitan centers. Along the way, it serves the cities of Opelousas, Alexandria, and Natchitoches, intersecting several cross-state highways, such as US 190, US 167, US 165, US 84, and I-20. 5.25 miles (8.45km) of the route is still under construction between I-220 and LA 1 on the northwest side of Shreveport, necessitating a detour via I-220 and US 71/LA 1. The project is scheduled for completion in the summer or fall of 2017.
I-49 was an intrastate Interstate Highway until December 12, 2012, when the designation was officially approved for an upgraded portion of US 71 in Missouri running from Joplin north to Kansas City. Portions of the remaining roadway between Shreveport and Joplin are in various stages of planning or construction, as well as a southern extension of the route from Lafayette to New Orleans along the US 90 corridor.
