What Have We Learned About So Far?

Stop and Think What do you know about Louisiana? What have we learned about Louisiana so far? (Hint: think about the Pickney Treaty) Why was this area so important to us? Was Louisiana a state at this point in time?

Leading Up To The Louisiana Purchase Spain controlled Louisiana and the New Orleans port, however, as settlers began to move in, Spain saw that it was impossible to keep Americans out of their territory. Spain decided to give the problem to someone else: France. Under a treaty, Spain gave the land to them. France was led by Napoleon and through his leadership France had conquered most of Europe.

France’s Intentions France already controlled Haiti and hoped that by taking control of New Orleans they could begin to expand into North America. However, when the slaves in Haiti revolted and the French army was defeated, their hopes of expansion were ruined.

The French needed money to pay for their wars in Europe. After their defeat in Haiti, the French offered Jefferson to buy not only New Orleans but all of Louisiana. The French offered the U.S a bargain: the land would only cost $15 million dollars.

Jefferson’s Concerns Jefferson was worried about the deal. This was because the Constitution did not mention the purchase of foreign lands. He had a strict interpretation of the Constitution and did not want to stray from it.

Senate’s Response Jefferson asked the Senate for permission and they agreed.

The Louisiana Purchase On October 20, 1801 the Louisiana Territory was bought- doubling the size of the United States.
