In 1803 President Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana territory from the French for $15,000,000. The purchase made President Jefferson's dream of extending the US west of the Mississippi River come true. Now the much larger United States had difficult questions to answer: How would Louisiana be governed? How would it be divided into states? Would those states be free states or slave states? What would happen to the Native Americans? It would take over 10 years, a war over slavery, and the creation of 13 new states before these questions could be answered.

Great overview of the Louisiana Purchase and it’s role in US westward expansion… listened with my homeschool kids over a few lunches. I (and they) appreciated that it started with the King of France taking a bath!

Great with kids
