The correct answer to this open question is the following.

US President Thomas Jefferson completed the Louisiana purchase even though he thought that this decision was not specifically authorized by the United States Constitution. So he feared that this decision could be unconstitutional.

However, Jefferson opted to move on with the purchase that was concluded in 1803. President Jefferson had sent James Madison to Paris, France, to help Robert Livingstone, who was the US minister to France, to conclude the negotiations. France sold the Louisiana territory in $11,250,000. It represented about 820,000 square miles of territory.

Answer:

Jefferson completed the Louisiana purchase even though he feared it was unconstitutional.

Explanation:

Article IV of the Constitution said new states could be added, but made no provision for taking on foreign territories.

Jefferson was concerned that the treaty powers granted to the President in the Constitution did not allow the executive branch to attain land through treaty.

Jefferson argued that a constitutional amendment was needed. ...

This purchase was needed because the President feared that if the America did purchase New Orleans from France  it would eventually lead to war.

The initial intent was to only purchase New Orleans, but when the representatives returned they proposed a buy out of the entire Louisiana territory. Napoleon needed money for an impending war with England. The territory was sold to the US for $15.

Answer: The Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 freed African Americans in rebel states, and after the Civil War, the Thirteenth Amendment emancipated all U.S. slaves wherever they were. As a result, the mass of Southern blacks now faced the difficulty Northern blacks had confronted—that of a free people surrounded by many hostile whites. One freedman, Houston Hartsfield Holloway, wrote, “For we colored people did not know how to be free and the white people did not know how to have a free colored person about them.”

Even after the Emancipation Proclamation, two more years of war, service by African American troops, and the defeat of the Confederacy, the nation was still unprepared to deal with the question of full citizenship for its newly freed black population. The Reconstruction implemented by Congress, which lasted from 1866 to 1877, was aimed at reorganizing the Southern states after the Civil War, providing the means for readmitting them into the Union, and defining the means by which whites and blacks could live together in a nonslave society. The South, however, saw Reconstruction as a humiliating, even vengeful imposition and did not welcome it.

During the years after the war, black and white teachers from the North and South, missionary organizations, churches and schools worked tirelessly to give the emancipated population the opportunity to learn. Former slaves of every age took advantage of the opportunity to become literate. Grandfathers and their grandchildren sat together in classrooms seeking to obtain the tools of freedom.

After the Civil War, with the protection of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1866, African Americans enjoyed a period when they were allowed to vote, actively participate in the political process, acquire the land of former owners, seek their own employment, and use public accommodations. Opponents of this progress, however, soon rallied against the former slaves' freedom and began to find means for eroding the gains for which many had shed their blood.
