Before the Louisiana Purchase, Louisiana was a French territory, and Napoleon threatened to block American access to the port of New Orleans on the Mississippi River. This scared Americans, because the nation wanted to expand the exports of American products.

President Jefferson sent diplomats to France to bargain access to the River, instead, Napoleon offered the sell of Louisiana. France needed money because of the war against Britain and then, the US bought Louisiana for 15 million dollars.

The Purchase impacted the Western Expansion since it doubled the size of the US and added more 14 states to the Union. It permitted the US to have more land to plantations and increase commerce and trade.

The philosophy of “Manifest Destiny” also became popular with the belief that Americans were destined to expand their territory.

The Puget Sound Basin is located in the Pacific Northwest, as part of an inlet of the Pacific Ocean and the Salish Sea. This means that the area comprises the northwestern coast of the U.S. state of Washington.

The Puget Sound Basin is particularly important to the economy of the state of Washington because of two main resources: water and animal species. The Puget Sound Basin contains surface and ground-water resources that play an important economic and ecological role. The resource is economically important because it provides water for an expanding population, hydroelectric power, recreational opportunities and an ecosystem that sustains fishery.

While fishery is also a major economic contribution of this area, some factors have made this business less sustainable. These include the loss of aquatic habitat, unsustainable agricultural practices in the region, washoff of metals, pesticides and petroleum products and nutrient enrichment of lakes and embayments. This means that populations of the species in the region have decreased in recent years.
