Question

In his letter to John Dickinson Thomas Jefferson Made which of these points about the Louisiana Purchase ?

Answer 1

Some of the main points Thomas Jefferson explain to John Dickinson about the Louisiana purchase were:

• The sole dominion of the Mississippi, excluding those bickerings with foreign powers, securing the course of a peaceable nation.
• The pretension to extend the western territory of Louisiana to the Rio Norte, or Bravo; and still stronger the eastern boundary to the Rio Perdido between the rivers Mobile & Pensacola.
• Ratification and payment, for a thing beyond the constitution, and rely on the nation to sanction an act done for its great good, without its previous authority.
• Annex New Orleans to the Mississippi territory and shut up all the rest from settlement for a long time to come, endeavoring to exchange some of the country there unoccupied by Indians for the lands held by the Indians on this side the Mississippi.
• The impost which will be paid by the inhabitants ceded will pay half the interest of the price given: so that only half will be added to the debt.
•
