 <span>In 1802, U.S. President Thomas Jefferson wanted to purchase New Orleans. The city of New Orleans controlled the Mississippi River, which was already important for shipping goods to and from the parts of the USA west of the Appalachian Mountains. Through Pinckney's Treaty with Spain, American merchants had "right of deposit" in New Orleans, meaning they could use the port for their goods. Napoléon Bonaparte returned Louisiana to French control from Spain (Louisiana had been a colony of Spain since 1762). Americans were fearful that they would lose their rights of use to New Orleans. The Jefferson administration decided that the best way to assure long term access to the Mississippi would be to purchase the city of New Orleans and the nearby portions of Louisiana east of the Mississippi. Jefferson sent James Monroe and Robert R. Livingston to Paris to negotiate such a purchase.</span>

Name three of the four main differences between a short story and a novel
weeeeeb [17]
1. Timespan
2. Plots (events that make up the story and what leads up to the resolution)
3. Conflict complexity

Why? Well, see below!

Short stories and novels are very different, and they vary in many different categories that make up why they’re called what they’re called. One difference between these two is the timespans set. In short stories, the timespan tends to be very short because as mentioned, it is a short story. The plot is kept simple, and a short solution to a problem is identified and put into action. The next difference is plot (and subplots). Plots are a huge difference between these two because in a short story, little capacity of description is provided, whereas in a novel, the plot is described more in depth. It typically is more reasonable to read a novel because the plot familiarizes itself with the reader, which results in a better comprehension of how the problem is brought about and solved. The final difference is conflict complexity. This is a big difference as well between novels and short stories because in a novel, the conflict is less timely and more descriptive. The protagonist may often encounter more conundrums in the path of solving one, which would make the general conflict more difficult to solve.
