What came first to last Haiti wins its independence from France. The US offers to buy New Orleans from France. Napoleon offers to sell the Louisiana Territory to the US.?

Haiti won its independence from France in 1804. The U.S. offered to buy New Orleans from France in 1803, which was part of the context leading to the sale of the Louisiana Territory. Napoleon offered to sell the Louisiana Territory to the U.S. in 1803 as well, shortly before Haiti's independence was recognized. Thus, the sequence is: the U.S. offer for New Orleans and Napoleon's sale of the Louisiana Territory occurred before Haiti's independence.

Why was the Louisiana territory purchased?

Jefferson needed the New Orleans port for the people of the western frontier to transfer their products down the Mississippi River. Originally he offered to buy just New Orleans, but Napoleon offered all of the Louisiana Territory (in part to frustrate the designs of the British, who had taken Canada from France). The 1803 Louisiana Purchase nearly doubled the size of the US, and opened the way for westward expansion.


Why did the US purchase Louisiana?

US wanted Louisiana because they wanted more people to come in to their new states, and they wanted more land for the people that will move in. They also wanted New Orleans because it was profitable, and they wanted to control the Mississippi River. If u own the MS. river that means u own the mouth of it, and u can control who can get in it and/or travel bye it !The United States purchased this land in order to expand their country.
