<h3>Now this is kind of a trick question, because the person who negotiated the purchase and the person who was supposed to were 2 different people. </h3>

<u>The correct answer is James Monroe and here is why:</u>

The Louisiana Purchase was mainly motivated because of the closing of the port of New Orleans to all American trade and traffic. The closing of the port was because of the continuing war between France and England.

After Spain became an ally of the French, they secretly gave Louisiana to France to hold until after the war. Once Jefferson learned about the secret deal between France and Spain, he chose and sent James Monroe to France to buy New Orleans from Napoleon.

However, Napoleon, who desperately needed money for the war, called on Robert Livingston, who was the United States minister in Paris. This is because of how urgently France needed the money. Napoleon then offered to sell all of the land that had drained by the Mississippi and Missouri rivers.

Due to the fact that old, wooden sailing ships were so slow, by the time James Monroe arrived, the price of the land had been set at $15 million, which was millions more than Monroe had been authorized to pay for it. Still the land was purchased
