Napoleon believed he could not defend New Orleans. This was a vital city which controlled the mouth of the Mississippi River. By selling it to the US, he believed it would keep Britain from capturing it. Additionally, the funds from the sale would be used in his plans for warfare in Europe. The territory included what is now Louisiana and most of the western Mississippi Basin. The land extended as far north as present day Minnesota and westward into what is now Montana.
