The french were having a war, so Nepolean didn't feel like dealing with land in the U.S. and he also needed money to pay for the war.
The result was The Lousiana Purchase.
-U.S. bought from France for $15,000,000
-It doubled the size of the U.S
-Technically not constitutional, considering Jefferson was a president, but he did it anyways.
