The French influence was the greatest in the southern part of the colony, which is now the state of Louisiana. The French abandoned the territory, or rather they sold it tot he British, but their cultural legacy remained. The French people that settled in the colony developed their own unique culture during the 17th century, and that culture is still in existence. The culture is called Cajun, and it is one of the most unique and interesting cultures in the United States. It is largely based around the French culture of the period when these people settled, with some unique traits added by them over the centuries, and having their own unique French dialect, cuisine, music, and even social norms.
