In “American Progress”, “on Manifest Destiny”, “Reporting to the President”, by John Gast, John O’Sullivan, and Stephen Ambrose, they all are trying to possess land which can’t be kept safe or private from the Native Americans. In the painting, “American Progress”, by…

The Louisiana Purchase posed several significant moral dilemmas for President Thomas Jefferson, among these was not having the power to buy Louisiana. Before Thomas Jefferson was president he campaigned under the program to limit federal power. He felt that the federal government should not have more power than what the constitution granted it. When he became president he only had the power that the constitution allowed him to have. When France offered to sell the whole Louisiana territory,…

Article 1: Buying Louisiana Before the Spanish sold Louisiana to France, America’s position in Louisiana was threatened by the Spanish governor in Louisiana who in 1802 withdrew American rights to ship good through New Orleans. After the French had gotten Louisiana from the Spanish, Jefferson decided the best way was to try and buy the New Orleans from France. Jefferson had sent his best friend James Monroe to France to make the deal. Monroe had the help of Robert Livingston, who was American…

In 1800, New Orleans was the richest and 3rd largest city because its port was used to ship produce to Europe, Caribbean and South America (history.com). French colonists settled in Louisiana because they wanted to increase their population in the new world. They were Catholic sons of noblemen, military men and owners of plantations.

The Louisiana Purchase was the addition of the Louisiana Territory previously owned by France to the United States. This expansion doubled the size of the nation.

offered to sell Louisiana, all of the land between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains for $15 million dollars, which happens to be the greatest real estate offer in history.

France has just offered Louisiana for $15 million dollars; this is one of the greatest real estate offers of all time. However, purchasing this land goes against everything I, Thomas Jefferson, stand for. I fear that purchasing this land is neglecting the Constitution, plus it goes against the strict budget I have argued for.
