What was the goal of selling Louisiana territory to the US?

The goal of selling the Louisiana Territory to the United States was primarily to generate revenue for France and to reduce the logistical burden of managing such a vast territory. By selling the land, France aimed to strengthen the United States as a counterbalance to British power in North America. Additionally, it allowed Napoleon Bonaparte to focus on European ambitions without the distraction of colonial affairs. Ultimately, the sale, finalized in 1803, doubled the size of the U.S. and facilitated westward expansion.


Why did Thomas Jefferson want the US to expand?

Even though the Louisiana Purchase which occurred under Jefferson causes a great expansion of the US, I do not think Jefferson particularly pushed for the expansion. His main goal was to secure the vital river route to the Gulf and the Atlantic via the Mississippi.


What land did napoleon sold in north America to the US?

Ever heard of The Louisiana Purchase? The land purchased contained all of present-day Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, parts of Minnesota that were west of the Mississippi River, most of North Dakota, nearly all of South Dakota, northeastern New Mexico, the portions of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental Divide, and Louisiana west of the Mississippi River, including the city of New Orleans. (The Oklahoma Panhandle, and southwestern portions of Kansas and Louisiana were still claimed by Spain at the time of the Purchase.) In addition, the Purchase contained small portions of land that would eventually become part of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The land included in the purchase comprises around 23% of the territory of the United States today.
