The decline of Kouri-Vini started with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. When the Louisiana territory was acquired by the nascent United States, non-English speakers felt pressure to learn the language and culture of the new government, and it only increased with statehood in 1812. Kouri-Vini took another blow during World War One when speaking any language other than English was considered unpatriotic. During this era of nationalistic fervour, President Theodore Roosevelt's rallying cry was, "One nation, one people, one language." แทงมวยสเต็ป
