B. They wish to expand their economies.
Explanation:
In the 19th century, Africa became a patchwork of European colonies. Although colonies like Liberia and Sierra Leone were founded by American and British abolitionists as homelands for freed slaves, colonies were mainly set up to exploit the natural resources of the African continent. The primary reason for European colonization of Africa was capitalism. European nations saw opportunity for new trade routes and potential wealth in some of Africa's natural resources.
One main reason why John C Breckenridge supported the purchase of the Louisiana territory was because he thought it would held end the issue of slavery, by leaving it up to "popular sovereignty" in the new territory.
