Answer:  It doubled the size of the country and guaranteed US control of the Mississippi River.

Explanation:  President Thomas Jefferson and those favoring the Louisiana Purchase justified it as an act done for the good of the country. Initially, President Jefferson had commissioned James Monroe and Robert Livingston to negotiate a deal with France to acquire New Orleans or all or part of Florida, as a means of avoiding the potential of an armed conflict in such areas.  Monroe and Livingston were authorized to spend up to $10 million.  What they found out was that Napoleon was already set to sell a much wider range of territory to the United States, to finance his European wars.  Napoleon was asking $22 million for the whole territory that became the Louisiana Purchase.  The US team negotiated the price down to $15 million.  But then there was a constitutional crisis back home.  Did the President have the authority under the constitution to make such a major addition to the nation's territory and spend the nation's funds to do so?  Jefferson himself considered pursuing a constitutional amendment, but his Cabinet members disagreed and the measure was sent to Congress for approval.  In a statement he made at the time, Jefferson justified the purchase with this analogy:  "“It is the case of a guardian, investing the money of his ward in purchasing an important adjacent territory; and saying to him when of age, I did this for your good."

As political differences began to fade away, what phrase did a Boston newspaper use to describe the years after the War of 1812?
kodGreya [7K]
After the War of 1812, America' sense of social and political unity was at an all time high, especially after fending off the British for the second time in less than 50 years. To describe this period of American unity, a Boston newspaper described this time of the "Era of Good Feelings." This title represented both the unity in America's moral after defeating the British, but it also refers to the lack of arguing/fighting in politics. This era brought the collapse of the Federalist party, with only the Democratic-Republican party remaining. This party began to unit and settle several differences that divided them prior to the war. This era lasted less than a decade and would precede some of the most divisive eras in American history.
