Louisiana Purchase
The Lousiana Purchase was a steal fromFrance/Napoleon. We orgianly just wanted New Orleans but France was in dept. Since France was in dept we got the rest of the territory for only 15 Million dollars, and that means is was only 4 cents per acre. France was in dept because Napoleon liked to get in wars and wars cost a lot and ha was about to go into another war with Great Britian so they needed the money. Overall it was the was the best sell of all time and still is. -
