The Louisiana Purchase

Westward, Ho!  Area west of the Mississippi belonged to Spain  Americans called pioneers expanded into their western territory.  Was called the Louisiana Territory that went from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains  Spain allowed Americans to explore their territory

The French Threat  1802 Spain stopped let Americans into their territory  Jefferson found out Spain secretly sold their Louisiana Territory to the French  Jefferson feared France’s leader, Napoleon Bonaparte, wanted to expand his empire into North America  Congress gave U.S. Diplomats $2million to buy the Louisiana Territory

Napoleon and Santo Domingo  Napoleon had control of the island Santo Domingo  Located in the Caribbean  French forces were beaten by a slave revolt led by Toussaint L’Ouverture  Napoleon no longer was as interested in a Caribbean Empire  Santo Domingo is now known as Haiti

An Expanding Nation  Napoleon needed money to fight Britain  French tried selling the Louisiana Territory to American diplomats who did not have the authority to accept it  Offer was too good to pass up, so they took the deal for $15million  Jefferson was nervous the deal was not legal  Decided to say government had the power to do it by making it a treaty  Senate approved the treaty  Louisiana Purchase was official in 1803

Lewis and Clark Expedition  Jefferson sent two men to explore the new territory  Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led the expedition through the territory  They explored the territory with the help of a Native American named Sacagawea  Wrote several maps, explored over 4,000 miles, discovered new plants and animals, and inspired people to move west

A Federalist Plan To Secede  Federalists didn’t like the Louisiana Purchase  Thought it would weaken their power due to more represented lands  Some federalists wanted to secede and form the “Northern Confederacy”  They realized they needed New York for this plan to succeed  They looked to VP Aaron Burr (from New York) for support

Duel of the Fates  Hamilton heard about this plan to secede  Never trusted Burr  Hamilton accused Burr of treason  Burr responded by challenging Hamilton to a duel  July Duel took place  Duels were illegal  Hamilton said he would not shoot Burr  Burr shot Hamilton  Hamilton died the next day from his wound  Burr fled
