Do you know the WHOLE story about the Louisiana Purchase? From the first Europeans and Native Americans to its purchase from France and first explorations? Some people thought it cost too much and was too much land, while others saw it as the future of the United States. Who was right? Did France even have the right to sell the Louisiana Territory to the US? How did the Louisiana Territory go from being a vast wilderness to the central states? How did things end up the way they are today?

I live in Alabama and about 20 years ago while visiting New Orleans, I bought an antique dresser. I refer to it as "the Louisiana purchase".
It was expensive.
I hope you didn't spend too much money on it. I'd hate to see you go "baroque".
So what would you say if it was made in Alabamabut stolen and taken to Louisiana?
What is almost never mentioned is that the Louisiana Purchase was only possible because Alexander Hamilton's financial policies -- which Jefferson adamantly opposed -- made the early U.S. Republic solvent. Otherwise, we would never have had the money (or the credit rating with Europe) to purchase Louisiana.
Thank you Napoleon!
Thank the people of Haiti, who fought for freedom. Without them Napoleon would not have sold the Louisiana Territory.
I love history so much
When I was younger, I was fascinated by historical events, but that is in the past.
You are just a master! The videos are energizing with positivity.
Ok. The dark side is the Purchase gave the US military a place to deport Eastern Indians. It made the Trail of Tears possible.
Forgetting about the war between France and America due to the US reneging on loans from the Revolutionary War leaves a gap in this story.
Thanks for the documentary guys! I was just thinking about this the other day after seeing a map that suggested the territory was purchased from Spain. Cool to have it cleared up for me cause it was bothering me lol.
Interesting, as always. Thanks.
If I may say, fewer to no visual movements would be less distracting from these fantastic images you use.
is Thomas Jefferson one of the considered great Presidents of US because of this purchased?
One of the many reasons
He authored the Declaration of Independence. That document is considered by many scholars as the most important document for human rights ever conceived.

Livingston was sent to France just to buy New Orleans. It was the French who surprised him with an offer to sell all the Mississippi watershed. He of course snapped at it.
We teach this entirely different on the Rez.
Indians never knew they were living in France.
Native Americans never knew Indians existed…

As an American I marvel that we did not just invade and occupy it.
Todays Supreme Court would have determined that Jefferson did not have the constitutional authority to purchase Louisiana. Trump would say it would be up to each state to decide if they wanted to expand our nation. The entire Louisiana Purchase opportunity would have been lost.
Wrong. Jefferson offered to buy ew Orleans, and Napolean offered the whole territory. Jefferson threatened the French that if they did not sell it to him he would take it. Thie is Pretty Lame.
We didn’t suffer from 4 years of a good Pres, then 4 years of a bad Pres, like we do now. No matter which Party they were defining, they were all Patriots that believed in making the best country that could ever be made.
