French Creoles of New Orleans resisted Ulloa's rule and expelled him during the Rebellion of 1768.
Ulloa's rule was strongly resisted by the French Creoles of New Orleans. On 28 October 1768, riots broke out in response to his promulgation of a decree by King Charles III opening nine Spanish ports to direct trade with Louisiana without assurances for local Creole merchants. The governor and his pregnant wife were taken to a Spanish vessel, and the Superior Council demanded that he leave Louisiana within three days.
