Louisiana Purchase

The Louisiana Territory had great value to it, which was why Napoleon Bonaparte from France was reconciling with Spain so that they would give back that territory. The transfer was unknown which finally got out to America which caused a fury with Jefferson. He wished to resolve this fear by purchasing New Orleans and western Flordia from the French. Monroe was sent by Jefferson to the conference in Paris. By the time Monroe arrived in Paris, Napoleon sold the entire Louisiana Territory to the United States. Very quickly Monroe and Livingston closed the deal for $15 million. Jefferson was concerned that maybe this was unconstitutional, finally though it was settled and finalized. The Louisiana Purchase consisted of all the western tributaries of the Mississippi River, after that the US has doubled.

I think that the Louisisana Purchase was done well for the United States knowingly that they doubled in size for $15 million dollars. Even though Monroe did not consult the US government before closing the deal they did it for the better. Also, how Jefferson thought it was unconstitutional. It turned out to be right on track and the senate made it official. I think that it was a good plan.
