Answer 1

This is Just Brief..Like you asked. The French,under Napolean,Offered Thomas Jefferson the Oppurtunity to Control the Whole of The American Continent(Except for
the Southwest,and Califorfnia,which was under Mexican
Rule at the Time.Jefferson jumped at the Chance to Control
the Continent "From Sea to Shining Sea",and stop British and Russian Expansion at the Canadian Border.

Answer 2

Napoleon needed money for his wars against England, and other countries. One way to raise money was to sell real estate. Thomas Jefferson, a wise President, saw an opportunity. He sent a trusted aide, James Monroe (a future President) to France to try and buy what is now the state of Louisiana. Napoleon raised both the price and the amount of real estate. He offered to sell the rights to basically everything west of the mississippi river. Jefferson did not have the legal authority, but he agreed to the deal anyway, and with the Louisiana Purchase, he doubled the size of the USA.

Answer 3

The Louisiana purchse was land bought from france witch consisted of about 530,000'000 acres each only costing about 3 cent. The purchase consistes many of the mid-western states. It was a significant event in history due to the fact it nearly doubled the US Territory.

I hope this helps some.

Answer 4

The president, not sure which one, bought the Louisiana Purchase from.. France I think for a relatively low price. I am positive that the main significance of it, is that it doubledthe size of the United States.

Answer 5

Well, Napoleon Bonoparte needed money since he was fighting the Brittish, so he sold the French rights to North America to Thomas Jefferson in 1803, for $15 million, , which effectively doubled the size of the United States and paved the way for the US to start their expansion to the west coast! It was the best land deal in US history since it cost about 3 cents an acre. Go Jefferson!

Answer 6

Napoleon, crowned himself as the "Emporer" of Frace, France had and old war against the British. Napoleon needed money for war, because France was in dbet already. Thomas Jefferson, went against the constitutoin to buy The Louisiana Territory", although he was critisied by many colonies, the price paid off. It bought about 13 states "As we know them today).

Answer 7

No I can't. How can a Nations land surface be nearly doubled and reduced to a paragraph.

Answer 8

Also, it was sold by Napolian to finance his wars. In the contract there were no designated measurements and he told the US that they could be creative with that, so through that purchase the US could also claim other areas such as Oregon. The purchase doubled the US's size.
