The Louisiana Purchase (1803)

Setting the Scene 1795 - Spain controlled the Port of New Orleans and Louisiana territory Pres. Washington sent Thomas Pickney to try to keep the vital port open (TRADE)

Pickney’s Treaty (1795) – Washington’s deal w/Spain to allow Americans to use the Mississippi River as route to transport goods to New Orleans 1800 – Spain signs treaty w/France giving Louisiana back to France

The United States buys Louisiana President Thomas Jefferson sent Robert Livingston and James Monroe to France GOAL: Buy New Orleans & West Florida for less than $10 million James Monroe Robert Livingston

Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand A Surprise Offer Livingston and Monroe negotiated with French Foreign Minister Talleyrand Napoleon Bonaparte (ruler of France) needed money to pay for costly wars in Europe Talleyrand asked Livingston if the U.S. wanted to buy ALL of Louisiana (not just New Orleans) Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand

The Louisiana Purchase DOUBLED the size of the United States The Purchase They agreed to pay the French $15 million dollars for the entire territory of Louisiana The Louisiana Purchase DOUBLED the size of the United States

1803 – Senate approves treaty and the Louisiana Purchase Was it Constitutional? President Jefferson hailed the news from France, but he was unsure if the purchase went against the Constitution Constitution said nothing about a President having the power to buy land. He reasoned that the Constitution allowed the President to make treaties as long as the Senate approved the treaty. (ELASTIC CLAUSE) President Thomas Jefferson 1803 – Senate approves treaty and the Louisiana Purchase

The Significance of Lewis & Clark’s Expedition President Jefferson asked Meriwether Lewis & William Clark to head an expedition through Louisiana Lewis and Clark had 3 Goals: 1) to map a route to the Pacific 2) investigating Indian tribes & trading patterns 3) establish relations w/Natives
