I think this is a pro because he got all that land for a deal. -shalon]]> 2017-03-22 14:11:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tjlewis3/jsz1e1d1fy3v/wish/161824512 https://padlet.com/tjlewis3/jsz1e1d1fy3v/wish/161824640 I think this is a con because Jefferson took advantage of the Louisiana Purchase.

Ta'Lacia--- I agree with you because more land equals more power. 

Keyanna- I agree because it gave equal opportunity to most people.

MR. LEWIS 
Keyanna, who received equal opportunity though?]]> 2017-03-22 14:12:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tjlewis3/jsz1e1d1fy3v/wish/161824740 Chane https://padlet.com/tjlewis3/jsz1e1d1fy3v/wish/161824826 It doubled the size of the United States.

Shalon- I agree with this 

LaBoris -Chane I agree that it doubled the size of the United States because previously we only had the thirteen original colonies and now we have that plus this.

CaVarius - I agree.

But it cost more for the up keep than the price itself.

MR. LEWIS
Ta'lacia, who do you think would be responsible for the upkeep?

Ariah: I agree, because the overall cost was nothing compared to the up keeping of the purchase,  overall, it could've been done better.

I agree

Jordan: I agree because he took more than needed.

cya, does that outweigh the acquisition of the land though?

I agree with this because they did spent a lot of money to keep the land. - Rikiyah. ]]> 2017-03-22 14:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tjlewis3/jsz1e1d1fy3v/wish/161826478 CaVarius https://padlet.com/tjlewis3/jsz1e1d1fy3v/wish/161826594 Thomas Jefferson had a vision for the United states and it was expansion of the land even though he did not know how to handle it, he just wanted his country to reach its full potential although he did not fully expand the United States he wanted to fulfill as much of his vision as he could with expansion.

Good point, we'll talk about that later this week. 

Cya- Lay I agree with this because they did push out the Native Americans for this deal.

The con of the situation was that the constitution did not give instructions for expansion

MR. LEWIS 
MaLeah, could that not be considered a pro/ 

Keyanna- I agree because the rules and regulations were stated as they go

LaBoris - I agree with that Ariah, the more land we get the more power we get and the more power the more we can do.
