Napoleon and Louisiana: pg. 298 Napoleon wanted to regain control Saint Dominques, but his genuis plans came to a hault when the owner of the island and his troops won against the French forces. Expecting Napolean to over turn the win and have the island for a supply base once his troops captured the owner of the island, he has a ruid awakening. Though the owner of the island could not order his troops, they still managed to fight on. The once general that was feared by all of Europe, was now brought down from his high seat and could not follow through with his dreams to rebuild France's empire.

The Mississippi Region: pg. 299 A busy seaport in New Orleans will soon become silent due to the French gaining power over Louisiana. The seaport is known for being ruled by many different nations who have combined rich diversities with different cultures and languages. Farmers and settlers transport different good like manufactured goods, furs, and farmer producs up and down the river. This is now Jefferson's foreign policy.

Purchasing the Territory: pg. 299 The United States wanted to buy Louisiana to keep the French from controlling New Orleans. Robert Livingston has just met the French Minister, Charkes Talleyrand. After realizing that Louisiana without the New Orleans would have little value, they would sell all of Louisiana to the United States. With the money they would be able to buy more supplies for their up coming war with Britian.

Expanding the Nation: pg. 300 The United States bought Louisiana from the French. Worried that a war would be started with the US while the war with Britian was going on, Napoleon agreed to sell his area for he had no troops there. After the treaty was signed on May 2, 1803, President Jefferson started to worry that the deal would drop and they'd be back at square one. On October 20, 1803 the deal was final and the United States size was doubled.
