Question

All of the following statements about the Louisiana Purchase are true EXCEPT: A. it was opposed by many Federalist legislators. B. it revealed President Jefferson's aggressive style in supporting national interests. C. it doubled the size of the United States. D. it contained a great deal of America's least productive farmland.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. it revealed President Jefferson's aggressive style in supporting national interests

Explanation:

Answer B must be incorrect for one main reason. Jefferson was a strong believer in state's rights and did not support strong national interests. Additionally, all of the other statements are true. Many federalists claimed that Jefferson could not do this because the constitution did not explicitly say that the president could buy land. Also, this purchase did double the US's land mass but much of the land was in the dust bowl and was not good farm land.
