Louisiana Purchase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Napoleon added the money from the sale of the Louisiana territory to his massive war chest and began his plans to control the European continent.

Effective on October 1, 1804, the purchased territory was organized into the Orleans Territory (most of which became the state of Louisiana) and the District of Louisiana, which was temporarily under the control of the Indiana Territory.

Jeffersonb>'s Folly by Bill Kauffman

Kennedy is fashionably hard on Jeffersonb>, arguing that, by acquiring Louisiana and refusing to insist on the prohibition of slavery in the new territory, Jeffersonb> doomed his South.
President Jeffersonb> admitted that the Purchase was "beyond the Constitution." He fiddled with an authorizing amendment before concluding that "the less that is said about any constitutional difficulty, the better." This was not his finest hour but rather his imperial moment.
The Yankees had read their Montesquieu, who wisely wrote: "It is natural for a republic to have only a small territory, otherwise it cannot long subsist." The country was already too large, perhaps, and further expansion would swell it past the point of viability.
