Let me see if I understand you. Does France retain just the Louisiana territory or the entire area of New France prior to the Seven Year's War?

Canada and the Louisiana Territory. 

No what I meant by my question was did they retain any non-Canadian territory east of the Mississippi? This means excluding Canada and Quebec. Were the Northeast and Southwest Territories still ceded to England?

Are you referring to who controls the Ohio Country which is what started off the conflict in the first place?   

I'm sorry, but I overlooked that one important detail.  Tongue

Let's just say that Great Britain gets control of the Ohio Country including the key junction at which the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers meet. 

France, in the meantime, keeps Canada including the fortress of Louisbourg, as well as much of the Louisiana territory including the key city of New Orleans.   

Two problems with that. Britain had already taken Louisburg after a second Siege in 1758 and had driven the last of the French out of the Maritimes.

What I would expect would be a maintaining of Quebec and Lower Canada and the Louisiana Territory west of the Mississippi. This would allow for the Demarkation Act, IIRC, which set the limit for white settlement to be imposed on the colonies which was the first major bone of contention leading to the Revolutionary War. With the French pushed back into two pockets the Colonists may have considered themselves safe enough to revolt.
