The Louisiana Purchase wasn't embarrassing to Jefferson. It was a form of "unhinged alters" to America. It went against the masses which is why this could have been seen as a controversial concept to the people back then. Nobody was open to change, therefore in some eyes people thought Jefferson should have been reprimanded.The people thought he was going against the constitution, making it "illegal" for the purchase to even happen.

How did cash-and-carry and Lend-Lease differ, and which was more beneficial to the Allies?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Lend-Lease was beneficial

Explanation:

There was a difference between the Cash and Carry and Lend Lease policies. Both were introduced during Second World War. The Cash and Carry policy performed in 1939 to aid the Allies and preserve neutrality. It allows the sale of American military equipment to countries like Britain and France on a “cash-and-carry”. They had to pay cash for American supplies and transport it on their ships.
