1. Louisiana Purchase: The Louisiana Purchase, made 200 years ago this month, nearly doubled the size of the United States. By any measure, it was one
of the most colossal land transactions in history, involving an area larger than today’s France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Holland, Switzerland and
the British Isles combined. All or parts of 15 Western states would eventually be carved from its nearly 830,000 square miles, which stretched from the
Gulf of Mexico to Canada, and from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains. And the price, $15 million, or about four cents an acre, was a
breathtaking bargain.“Let the Land rejoice,” Gen. Horatio Gates, a prominent New York state legislator, told President Thomas Jefferson when details of
the deal reached Washington, D.C. “For you have bought Louisiana for a song.”

Rich in gold, silver and other ores, as well as huge forestsand endless lands for grazing and farming, the new acquisitionwould make America immensely
wealthy. Or, as Jeffersonput it in his usual understated way, “The fertility of thecountry, its climate and extent, promise in due season importantaids to our
treasury, an ample provision for our posterity, and a wide-spread field for the blessings of freedom.”

THe LoUISIAnA PURCHASe

In 1803, the United States was a young nation perched on the eastern edge of the vast North American continent. Thomas
Jefferson was the president. Despite his convictions on the powers and role of the government,
however, Jefferson soon took advantage of an opportunity to expand the holdings of the United States in North America. To do this, Jefferson had to ignore
the Constitution on the matter
of purchasing territory from foreign powers.
Jefferson believed that the western lands held the key to a developing nation. Jefferson loved
France, having served there as the American minister from 1785 to 1789. Jefferson understood the dangers of France’s holding lands west of the United
States, however. If France took control of Louisiana, American interests would collide with French interests. Given his distrust of Great Britain and his love
for France, it must have been difficult for Jefferson to reach this conclusion.
France offered to sell not only New Orleans but also the whole of the Louisiana Territory to the United States. France sold the Louisiana Territory to the
United States for about $15 million—a cost of about 4 cents per acre. The territory purchased was 828,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi
River. The size and boundaries of Louisiana were somewhat undefined.
The Louisiana Purchase Treaty, which was signed on April 30, 1803, expanded the United States by 800,000 square miles, from the Mississippi River to the
Rocky Mountains. Some feared that the political power in the East would be threatened by the new citizens of the West, and that an increase in slave-holding
states created out of the new territory would intensify divisions between North and South.

THe RePUBLIC oF TexAS

Spain governed Texas from 1690 until 1821, when Mexico (New Spain) gained its independence. During that time, Spain oversaw the so-called Kingdom
of Texas as a distinct colony. After breaking from Spain in 1821, Mexico claimed ownership of Texas.
In 1835, the political climate changed dramatically for the Texians. The president of Mexico, Antonio López de Santa Anna, sought to consolidate federal
power and invalidated Mexico’s 1824 constitution. Santa Anna recognized that the Texians, with their Protestant religion and English language, posed a
threat to the sovereignty of the Mexican nation. Mexico had abolished slavery, but Americans living within Texas ignored the regulation. The situation
worsened until the Texians initiated the Texas Revolution. The settlers followed the American example of 1776 and declared their independence from
Mexico in 1836. The fight for the independence of Texas had begun.
