What We Already Know
Thomas Jefferson wanted America to remain a nation of small towns and
independent farmers.
![Page 5: Lesson 10.2 : The Louisiana Purchase and Exploration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012819/56816650550346895dd9cff5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What We Already Know
Even before the war for independence, Americans were
eager to move west into new lands.
![Page 6: Lesson 10.2 : The Louisiana Purchase and Exploration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012819/56816650550346895dd9cff5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What We Already KnowFor years, Western
farmers had depended on
access to the port at New Orleans to get their surplus
produce to eastern markets.

As Americans moved west, they entered three distinct geographic regions.
![Page 8: Lesson 10.2 : The Louisiana Purchase and Exploration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012819/56816650550346895dd9cff5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Trans-Appalachia
• Wooded; rolling hills and flatlands
• Well-watered• Humid summers,
cold winters• Settlers by the
thousands moving in, displacing the Native Americans
![Page 9: Lesson 10.2 : The Louisiana Purchase and Exploration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012819/56816650550346895dd9cff5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Great Plains
• Flat, rolling plains• Rocky Mountains• Great Basin (desert)• Treeless; few rivers• Hot, dry summers;
bitterly cold winters• France and Spain• Nomadic Plains
Indians (horse culture)
• Non-migratory Indians in the Southwest

The West in 1800
• In the 1800s, thousands of settlers moved westward across the Appalachian Mountains.
• Kentucky and Tennessee had become states by 1800.
![Page 12: Lesson 10.2 : The Louisiana Purchase and Exploration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012819/56816650550346895dd9cff5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The West in 1800
France and Spain were negotiating for ownership of the Louisiana Territory – the vast region between the
Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains.
![Page 13: Lesson 10.2 : The Louisiana Purchase and Exploration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012819/56816650550346895dd9cff5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The West in 1800
Along the Pacific coast, Spain, Russia, Great Britain, and the United States were
establishing settlements.
![Page 14: Lesson 10.2 : The Louisiana Purchase and Exploration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012819/56816650550346895dd9cff5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The West in 1800• As the number of westerners grew, so did
their political power. • An important issue for many settlers was
the use of the Mississippi River and the port of New Orleans.
• Westerners used the river and port to send their goods to east coast markets.

Spain closed New Orleans to U.S. ships, in violation of the Pinckney treaty.
• Angry Westerners called for war against Spain and France.
• To avoid war, Jefferson offered to buy the port of New Orleans from France for $2 million.
• France offered to sell the entire Louisiana Territory to the United States for $15 million.
![Page 20: Lesson 10.2 : The Louisiana Purchase and Exploration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012819/56816650550346895dd9cff5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Napoleon and New Orleans
• Napoleon had several reasons for selling the land.
• The first reason had to do with a profitable French colony in the Caribbean called Santo Domingo.
![Page 21: Lesson 10.2 : The Louisiana Purchase and Exploration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012819/56816650550346895dd9cff5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Napoleon and New Orleans
• All the land on Santo Domingo was used for growing sugar, so food had to be grown elsewhere.
• Napoleon planned to use land in the Louisiana Territory for farms to feed the slaves in Santo Domingo.
![Page 22: Lesson 10.2 : The Louisiana Purchase and Exploration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012819/56816650550346895dd9cff5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Napoleon and New Orleans
In 1801, a slave named Toussaint L’Ouverture led
a violent slave uprising against the French
colonists.
![Page 23: Lesson 10.2 : The Louisiana Purchase and Exploration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012819/56816650550346895dd9cff5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Napoleon and New Orleans
• Though Napoleon sent in French troops, they were unable to put down the revolt.
• Without a profitable slave colony to feed, Louisiana was of no use to Napoleon.
![Page 24: Lesson 10.2 : The Louisiana Purchase and Exploration](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012819/56816650550346895dd9cff5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Napoleon and New Orleans
• Napoleon also was involved in a costly war with Britain.
