The Louisiana Purchase was a land purchase made by United States president, Thomas Jefferson, in 1803. He bought the Louisiana territory from France, which was being led by Napoleon Bonaparte at the time, for 15,000,000 USD. First, the men sent to France were allowed to spend up to 10 million USD in order to buy New Orleans and, if possible, the west bank of the Mississippi River. But then the French government said that for 5 million more dollars they would sell all of the Louisiana territory. Thomas Jefferson approved the deal and used his constitutional power to sign treaties to buy the land.

Napoleon Bonaparte sold the land because he needed money for the Great French War.

Hey there!

The answer to the question of, "What was one main effect of slave sale days?" would be "families were divided and eventually spread across the country." 

The excerpt talks about how a mother is horrifically separated from her seven children on a sale day. She's absolutely devastated over the loss, and even asks why God won't just kill her, and the narrator states that "instances of this kind are of daily, yea, of hourly occurrences." The excerpt also states that when the mother asked the trader where her children were going to go he wouldn't tell her, but she knew they would go wherever the highest bidder was. All of this evidence shows that: 
It is not true that "many found new and happy families"; 
It is also not true that the traders left quickly to avoid being caught, as they were actually just leaving to sell the slaves wherever they could get the most money; 
It is not true that "people gathered and renewed family bonds" as the families were actually being torn apart on these days. 
And that it <em>is </em>true that families were divided and eventually spread across the country. 

Hope this helps, let me know if there's more I can do.

How did everyone find out about the gold?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: A child finds a shiny rock in a creek, thousands of years ago, and the human race is introduced to gold for the first time. Gold was first discovered as shining, yellow nuggets. “Gold is where you find it,” so the saying goes, and gold was first discovered in its natural state, in streams all over the world.
