During 1803, Napoleon Bonaparte, who was the French ruler at that time, controlled the Louisiana Territory. President Jefferson believed that the French leader may be a threat to American trade and travel, so he decided to negotiate the Louisiana purchase.

Jefferson was able to buy the Louisiana territory from France, since Napoleon Bonaparte needed money for the Great French War. As a result, with the purchase of this new territory, the land area of America nearly doubled.
