The Louisiana Purchase

Because the Louisiana Purchase gave more land to the USA

The price was 15 million The price was 15 million

Jefferson believed that the powers of the federal government and the executive branch were constrained by the enumerated powers granted to them in the constitution. The constitution, however, did not explicitly grant them the power to appropriate funds for the purchase of new lands. He also believed that the federal government should not spend money it did not have, and the Louisiana purchase greatly increased the deficit (by the standards of the time). Jefferson made the purchase anyway.

President Jefferson know he did not have the right to purchase the Louisiana Territory, but he knew that by doing so it would double the size of the country and thus help America realize there Manifest destiny. People could realize the American dream of owning there own land.

Great Britain’s was with France meant the Napoleon needed money (apex)

"The Federalists strongly opposed the purchase, favoring close relations with Britain over closer ties to Napoleon, and were concerned that the United States had paid a large sum of money just to declare war on Spain."

I COPIED OFF OF WIKIPEDIA. I DO NOT CLAIM THIS.

The Louisiana Purchase covered over 800,000 square miles in dozens of climates. The climates ranged from mountains to plains to grasslands, to riparian areas.

they bought it from them

The Louisiana Purchase, made in 1803, was crucial for the Midwest as it significantly expanded U.S. territory, doubling the nation's size and providing vast tracts of land for settlement and agriculture. This acquisition facilitated westward expansion and development, allowing for the establishment of new states and boosting trade routes, particularly along the Mississippi River. Additionally, it laid the groundwork for the Midwest to emerge as a key agricultural and economic hub in the United States.

jkkhk.

the kings of the expedtion was the one who want money

This was the Louisiana Purchase that happened in 1803.

The Louisiana Purchase gave the US the chance to control the Port of New Orleans, a major port for trade. It also allowed settlers to move farther west than ever possible before. Citizens in the East were running out of land to farm and build settlements, so the Louisiana Purchase allowed citizens to move West and farm. It gave the United States control of a large amount of natural resources in the West and helped farming become a major staple of the economy.

It increased the real concept of Manifest Destiny, One Nation from sea to shining sea. Also If Jefferson had not bought the Louisiana purchase France, England and Spain might still have some land in North America. By purchasing this piece of land, the size of the United States just about doubled.

There were a number of factors in the acquisition of the Louisiana Territory on both sides of the purchase. Until it finally came into the hands of the U.S. in 1803, the territory changed hands many times. It was originally claimed by France, but eventually it ended up in the hands of the Spanish. Spain held the territory until 1800, when it was returned to France under the Treaty of San Ildefonso. The treaty was kept a secret, and Spain retained the territory until the deal was announced just three weeks before the purchase in December, 1803. At the time of the Louisiana Purchase, Jefferson was a Republican, which, in the period, was the party that favored strict interpretation of the constitution. Jefferson was the well-respected leader of the party back then, and he was the brain behind the party's platform. Even so, when France was desperate to receive funds from selling off territory and offered the U.S. the unbelievable opportunity to purchase it for only $15,000,000, Jefferson realized that the constitution granted no right for the federal government to purchase land. As a strict constructionist, Jefferson had a conundrum. In the end, he decided to go against his own party's values and call the purchase a "treaty" in order to bypass the lack of a territory acquisition clause in the constitution. As it turned out, his risk payed off and hardly anyone in his party held his lapse of loyalty against him.

The Louisiana Purchase had added vast new territories to the USA, and a decision had to be made about which ones would be slave and which would be free.

When the Missouri territory came up for admission, Conress ruled that it could be a slave-state, on condition that there were no more slave-states North of the parallel that marked Missouri's Southern border.

This 'line in the sand' kept the peace for thirty years.
