A Big Purchase

The Louisiana Purchase was a big leap for the USA. In this paragraph I’ll tell you about the facts and history of The Louisiana Purchase.

President Jefferson, a man of many talents, dreamed that United States would one day stretch all the way to the Pacific Ocean; luckily his dream was a legacy1 because of the Louisiana Purchase. Napoleon Bonaparte, (the leader of France) had a dream of building a French empire in the Western Hemisphere. Problems with his overseas colonies and wars in Europe, however, led him to decide to sell his American holdings.

The Louisiana Territory covered 820,000 square miles, (2,123,800 square kilometers). The Area covered from the Mississippi river to the Rocky Mountains, and Louisiana to Montana.

The Louisiana Purchase bankrupted James Monroe.

The Purchase price was 15 million dollars. The USA paid less than 3 cents an acre-an amazing real estate bargain. The Louisiana Purchase would have cost $233 million in 2011 dollars. That’s around 42 cents per acre. In 2013 dollars, the Louisiana Purchase cost about $308 million.

In 1682, French explorers claimed Louisiana right next to the Mississippi riverbanks. Then about a century later, the United States of America wanted to buy Louisiana. Thomas Jefferson, the President of the United States at the time, sent diplomats Robert R. Livingston and James Monroe to negotiate with French officials. The French refused to sell it at first, but France realized they were at war and needed money desperately. So, France decided to sell it for $15 Million. In 1803, Thomas Jefferson signed the Louisiana Purchase. It was 828,000 square miles. Click Here to see the map of the Louisiana Purchase.

Oregon City!

"Go West"

Do you know why many pioneers traveled to Oregon City? During the inauguration of Westward Expansion the Oregon Trail had begun. It was a long way from Independence, MI to Oregon City, OR. Pioneers had many reasons to travel to Oregon City. They were looking for a better life. Pioneers could get better jobs. Did you know why and how the Oregon Trail started? When Thomas Jefferson bought Louisiana Territory from France for $15 million to double the U.S.A.’s size he started the Lewis & Clark Expedition. Thomas Jefferson recruited Meriwether Lewis. Thomas Jefferson tried to recruit General Rogers Clark (American hero of the Revolutionary War) but he refused. Meriwether Lewis tried recruiting his friend William Clark (brother of General Rogers Clark). He answered yes! This caused the Oregon Trail to start.

The California Gold Rush

Striking Gold!

GOLD! The word is music to many people’s ears.  In January of 1848, James Marshall, a sawmill operator and American carpenter had believed all of his dreams were about to come true.  James Marshall was employed by John Sutter, at Sutter’s Mill in Coloma, California, and was in charge of producing Mr. Sutter a new sawmill.  Upon his work at the sawmill, Sutter came across shiny pieces of gold flakes in the American River.  Upon his grand findings, he told John Sutter about his discovery and they agreed that they would like to keep the findings of gold a secret, however, the word spread quickly and so, the California Gold Rush begins!
