BS. Spanish was spoken in Kali, Texas, and Florida. That’s about it. The rest was English. Very few Spanish speakers were in the rest of the western US.

You forgot Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona. Spanish was spoken before English in many parts of those areas. So was French.

Uh, no. French was well in the mix in that time frame. The territory that became the "Louisiana Purchase" and just about doubled the size of the United States was French.

That said, ENGLISH is and should be the official legal language of the US, and if you plan to live here, you need to speak it.
