5
The Nation Looks West By 1800, more than 1 million settlers lived between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River Most of the settlers were farmers that depended on the Mississippi River to transport goods
6
Spain’s Affairs Spain threatened to block the Mississippi River from American ships, but we were able to make the Pinckney Treaty to prevent that In 1801, SPAIN SECRETLY SOLD THE NEW ORLEANS / LOUISIANA TERRITORY TO FRANCE
7
Haitian Revolution America was freaking out because of the new owners of the land Jefferson sent James Monroe to France to purchase the land At the time, France was distracted with Touissant L’ouverture and Haiti’s fight for independence from France
8
Buying Louisiana Napoleon Bonaparte needed money to fund his French Revolution and to fight off the British Napoleon sold the Louisiana Territory for $15 million (4 cents/acre) This largely unexplored region would double the size of America overnight
9
Jefferson’s Dilemma Jefferson was excited, but he had encountered a problem : – Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the President had the power to purchase land He decided that it was okay; the President can make treaties, so he can purchase land, as long as Congress approves
10
Jefferson’s Motives We will be reading a secondary and an primary document explaining what Thomas Jefferson planned on doing with the Louisiana Territory. Follow along with the reading and answer the last 4 questions on the last page in your packet.
