17   Jefferson learned that Louisiana Territory was now controlled by France  French ownership of the Louisiana Territory posed several problems for the U.S.—mainly the French were popular with the Indians and the French presence blocked any sort of westward movement by U.S. citizens into the Louisiana Territory The Louisiana Purchase

18 THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE By 1800, the western boundary of the U.S. was the Mississippi River The Louisiana Territory, that is all lands west of the Mississippi River which drained into the river, was originally controlled by France. As part of losing the French-Indian War, France ceded, or gave, the Louisiana Territory to Spain

Secretly, the Louisiana Territory was transferred from Spain to France as a result of that European war.

If France decided to close the city of New Orleans to U.S. trade, then the U.S. would suffer great economic hardship.
