Louisiana Purchase
What new developments encouraged the US to attempt to buy the
Louisiana Territory?
What deal did Jefferson get instead, and why did it cause a conflict of
Jefferson’s ideologies?
The Purchase Debate
“Although the size of the still-young country more
than doubled, the American public was apprehensive
about the Louisiana Purchase. Many of the northeast
states were afraid that their power would be diluted
by the new states, or that a rush of migration
westward, lured by cheaper land prices, could empty
out the eastern population. In addition, if new states
would be admitted, it would have to be determined if
they were ‘free’ states or ‘slave’ states.”

page)…Use at least 2 events and
specifically explain what you think
2) Trade papers and respond (1/2 page) by
countering the points that were made in
the letter, use the same 2 events
Jefferson – Assess the accuracy of this statement
• "In recent years, Hamilton and his
reputation have decidedly gained the
initiative among scholars who portray
him as the visionary architect of the
modern liberal capitalist economy.
Jefferson and his allies, by
contrast, have come across as naïve,
dreamy idealists. The Jeffersonians
were reactionary utopians who
resisted the onrush of capitalist
modernity in hopes of turning America
into a yeoman farmers' arcadia. At
worst, they were proslavery racists
who wish to expand the institution of
slavery and protect slaveholders'
rights to own human property.“
• – Historian Sean Wilentz
