 <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.

Jefferson sent James Monroe and Robert R. Livingston to Paris to negotiate such a purchase.</span>

Answer:

Explanation:

The<u> Holocaust was the greatest genocide in the history of the world which led to the mass murder of the European Jews in Germany</u>. This <u>mass killing executed under the order of the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler</u> became and will remain one of the most heinous crimes ever carried upon a specific race and ethnicity.

The Kristallnacht or the Crystal Night or Night of the Broken Glass and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising are also all forms of discriminatory acts against the Jews. The term <u>"Holocaust" is coined and used as a reference to the mass murder and discriminatory act against the European Jewish </u>people after the end of the war. This genocidal act was carried out in numerous concentration camps and gas chambers, where they are gassed if they are "not up to the mark" or are unhealthy while the good ones are made to work in the camps until they fall sick and die.
