Throughout the 18th century and into the very early 19th century, French control of the Mississippi River and surrounding areas alarmed Americans both before and after the founding of the United States. The alarm was tied to political and economic concerns: Americans feared political aggressiveness at their expense by French forces; they also feared that their own economy would suffer should the Mississippi River Valley be closed to their own commercial use (or even if merely restricted).
