The Louisana Purchase

It was 1803 when a treaty was for the United States to have the Louisana Territory. It was very good for the United States because of the Missippi R. The river helped us Americans with shipping in goods. And shipping things out for trading with other countries. The amount that the Americans had to pay to the French was $15 million. The reason that we were able to get Louisana was to send to Americans. By the name of James Monroe and Robert Livingston. They were sent to Paris to settle this agreement.

This new treaty helped us Americans on expanding our land and increasing our trading. Now that we have the Missippi R. Also this new land help expand us because we used to be just thirteen colonies. At first America really wanted New Orleans because of its shipping vessels. But the problem was that it was in the Spanish Territory. I think this was one of the best treaties that the United States has made. And the reason for that is because look at far that the Americans have come. The French was probably one of the reason's on how we've became such a great nation.
