The Louisiana Purchase included land which was rich and fertile. The deal came about when Jefferson heard rumors of a possible deal for the land between Napoleon and Spain. He believed this acquisition would be detrimental to relations between France, Spain, and the United States. As a result, he offered to buy the land from Napoleon, who was happy to sell the entire purchase for the miniscule amount of $15 million.
