Answer:

<h2>The Louisiana Purchase</h2>

[You didn't show the map, but that's the probable answer.]

Explanation:

President Thomas Jefferson commissioned James Monroe and Robert Livingston to negotiate a deal with France to acquire New Orleans or all or part of Florida. When they went to France to negotiate, Monroe and Livingston found that Napoleon was ready to sell a much wider range of territory to the United States, to finance his European wars. Napoleon was asking $22 million for the whole territory that became the Louisiana Purchase. The US team negotiated the price down to $15 million.

Then there was a constitutional crisis back home: Did the President have the authority under the constitution to make such a major addition to the nation's territory and spend the nation's funds to do so? Jefferson himself initially thought a constitutional amendment might be necessary to authorize such a large action. Ultimately, Jefferson simply sought approval of the purchase from Congress. He used this analogy to describe what his administration was doing on behalf of the country: "“It is the case of a guardian, investing the money of his ward in purchasing an important adjacent territory; and saying to him when of age, I did this for your good."

Answer:

adopting the rhetoric of minority status.

Explanation:

Jason Kessler (born in 1983) is an American white nationalist, infamous as the organizer of the Unite the Right rallies, the first of which was held on Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12, 2017. The 2018 Unite the Right 2 Rally was held in Washington, D.C. after he was denied permission to organize it in Charlottesville again, as that rally turned violent and a counter-protester was killed by a white supremacist.

Kessler is a known advocate of the white genocide theory, which states that there's a deliberate plot to replace white people with people of color, in what Kessler and others describe as the "browning of America". White nationalists who subscribe to this theory are adopting the rhetoric of minority status, by acting as if they consider themselves an oppressed or endangered minority, which needs to be protected from oppression, forced assimilation, or genocide. White nationalists claim they don't hate other races, but that they're only defending what they call "white civil rights", ie. the right of white people to exist. The second rally was in fact applied for under the name of "White Civil Rights Rally".
