Why is Jefferson so concerned about the cession of Louisiana territory by Spain to France?
Jefferson was deeply concerned about the cession of the Louisiana Territory from Spain to France because he feared that a powerful French presence in North America could threaten U.S. expansion and security. He believed that France, under Napoleon, would seek to establish a vast empire that could hinder American trade and access to the Mississippi River, crucial for western farmers. Additionally, Jefferson worried that this shift could lead to the re-establishment of French colonial influence in the region, undermining the democratic ideals of the young nation. This concern ultimately motivated his push for the acquisition of New Orleans and the broader Louisiana Territory.

The addition of what territory more than doubled the size of the US?
alot of people would argue and say that it was the Louisiana Purchase, but it was actually the Mexican Cession. Addition: This is the problem when people randomly answer questions. The Mexican Cession was just over half a million square millions. The Louisiana Purchase was over 800,000 square miles. Maybe the original person who wrote this was thinking square km since the Mexican Cession is larger if one places it in KM and the Louisiana Purchase in square miles. However, if you convert one, you have to convert the other and that means the latter would still be larger.
