The correct answer is C. He wanted to buy New Orleans and saw the opportunity to greatly expand the nation.

Jefferson saw the need to acquire New Orleans because of his fear that France would use this city as a point of support to press militarily on the American Union.

In 1763, by the treaty of Paris, France had ceded to England a part of Louisiana territory west of the Mississippi River (In the hands of the Union since its Independence) and the rest of the Louisiana Territory had ratified its cession to Spain. When Napoleon took power in France, he took control of New Orleans and in 1800 he made two actions (he took New Orleans as a base for military operations in the face of revolts in Haiti and Santo Domingo and the impediment of storing merchandise to the Americans) that Jefferson considered as a threat to national sovereignty and a risk to the Napoleonic advance.

This led him to establish negotiations to buy New Orleans from France. France initially refused but in 1803 the conditions had changed and Napoleon decided to abandon his pretensions in America and decided to concentrate his expansionist efforts in Europe, therefore he sold the entire territory of Louisiana to the American Union for a really low number.

Jefferson achieved the goal of buying New Orleans and his expectations were expanded, since from this acquisition he took courage to undertake expeditions in order to further increase the national territory.

The Congress gave a tough debate on this issue but ended up supporting the expansionist strategy of Jefferson.

The Egyptian pyramids is one of the ways we in the present 21st-century can look to the past, and see the richness and glory of Ancient- Egypt.

1) <u>how they were made:</u> The Egyptian pyramids was made with what was then cutting edge-technology, including the use of logs to bring large bricks to the top of each other, usage of chisel-and- hammer.
2) <u>how tall and big they were: </u>This meant that many workers were needed, and it either showed the economic power of the Egyptians, in which they can higher large amounts of workers, and their military power, in which they can defeat their enemies, take prisoners, and use them for slave labor. 
3) <u>the insides of the pyramids:</u> The pyramids were usually painted, and had treasures inside of them (where the pharoah was buried). This showed their richness and might, and how much they believed that their pharoah was a god, or god-send. The pictures on the wall also showed how educated most of them were, in that they can produce reliefs and artworks describing the kings life.
