The treaty that transferred control of Louisiana from Spain to France alarmed Thomas Jefferson because it threatened U.S. territorial expansion and access to the vital Mississippi River for trade. Jefferson feared that a powerful French presence in North America could hinder American growth and encroach on western lands. Additionally, he was concerned about the implications for U.S. security and the balance of power in the region. This prompted him to consider the necessity of acquiring New Orleans and the surrounding territory to secure American interests.
France owned a large portion of North America. However, being that France was also at war with the British, they needed money. As such, they sold the land to the United States.
Spain developed into a colonial power in the Americas, and acquired gold and territory.
The British took Ticonderoga, which meant they controlled Lake Champlain and had a straight shot into New England. It also gave them an unimpeded line to Canada for supplies. Of course Congress would be alarmed after another loss like that.
American farmers were alarmed by Napoleon's plans primarily due to his ambitions to expand French territory in North America, particularly through the re-establishment of a French presence in Louisiana. This raised concerns about potential disruptions to trade and land access, as farmers relied heavily on the Mississippi River for transporting their goods. Additionally, the prospect of France controlling vast territories could lead to conflicts with American settlers and threaten their livelihoods. Overall, the fear of losing land and economic stability heightened their anxiety over Napoleon's intentions.

Doing so would throw the balance in congress to free states, who might then move to ban slavery throughout the nation.

Thomas Jefferson was not alarmed by Shays' Rebellion, and argued that the uprising was the result of ignorance on the part of the farmers and the natural order of things; according to Jefferson, people occasionally rebel in any healthy democracy, and there's no way to prevent that from occurring.
