Thommas Jefferson, not only has been remembered for being the forerunner of the Independence of the United States, but also for the purchase of Louisiana, a territory of French domination until 1803.
Approximately 216 years have passed since that great negotiation and for the new generations it is very important that we know why that purchase was made. Louisiana was a round business, the best the United States could do, since it greatly favored the Agriculture and Livestock sectors and because the Mississippi River was in it.
Summary
Napoleon Bonaparte sold to Thommas Jefferson the territory of Louisiana for the not inconsiderable sum of 23,213,568 dollars. This sale was of great importance to the president of the United States who did not resist the idea of thinking that Spain and France had powers in which they had the power to block the passage of merchants from the United States, who used the territory.
Given Napoleon's preference to sell this vast territory and Jefferson's need to maintain control over the Mississippi River, the purchase of Louisiana by the United States took place. As it can be noticed, this transaction favored both countries, both France and the United States.
