How did Jefferson ultimately end up purchasing the entire Louisiana Territory and under what terms?
Thomas Jefferson ultimately purchased the entire Louisiana Territory from France in 1803, following negotiations with French leader Napoleon Bonaparte. Originally intended to acquire only New Orleans and its surrounding areas to secure trade access, Jefferson was offered the entire territory when Napoleon decided to sell due to financial pressures and the loss of interest in North America. The U.S. agreed to pay approximately $15 million for the territory, which effectively doubled the size of the nation, significantly expanding its land and resources. The deal was finalized on April 30, 1803, and ratified by the Senate later that year.
