Louisiana Purchase (1 ottob 1802 anni – 20 dic 1803 anni)
Descrizione:
It all started in October 1802 with rumors that Spain might sell Louisiana back to France. After learning that Spain did intend to return Louisiana to France, President Thomas Jefferson opened negotiations with France. He did not want to buy all of Louisiana; he just wanted New Orleans. However, when Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte of France offered to sell all 828,000 square miles of the Louisiana Territory for $15 million, which was about 3 cents an acre, President Jefferson accepted the deal
