Thomas Jefferson wanted to buy the Louisiana Purchase for several reasons. First, it would double the size of the United States. From this deal, the US would gain roughly 828,000,000 square miles of territory from the French. Another reason why Jefferson wanted to buy this territory was because it would help to get rid of European influence in America. Since the US recently became independent, they wanted to expand their power and influence without worrying about conflict with European nations. Along with this, Jefferson was expanding America's territory in order to fulfill their "manifest destiny." Jefferson's purchase is the beginning of this concept, which is based around the belief that it is America's god given right to control all the land from the Atlantic to Pacific Ocean.
Calvinism is basically Protestantism, but since John Calvin played a huge role in Calvinism, it is named after him. The people who practiced Calvinism, often believed they were "chosen" by God to like on their life and do what they are told. They thought that God had picked them to make a perfect Christian community, as they had lived good and true lives so they were hand chosen by God himself. They trusted in the fact that if they did this and created a pure Christian community, while living a happy life with no sin, they would earn salvation from God.
