THOMAS Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson sent Robert Livingston and James Monroe to negotiate the purchase of New Orleans from France in 1803. Their mission was to secure the port of New Orleans and access to the Mississippi River, which were vital for American trade. Instead of just New Orleans, they ended up negotiating the Louisiana Purchase, which significantly expanded U.S. territory.
