Maybe Louisiana to the Spanish? Historical oddity. When the British 
expelled the Acadians from the Maritime Provinces they went looking for a 
new home. A few wound up in Maryland which was more or less tolerant of 
Catholics dependent on who was running England, but most proceeded to 
Louisiana which had been ceded to Spain. They were in transit and didn't 
get the memo. Still, it was a Catholic colony so all was good.
