Napoleon gives us more than we ask for…
• Napoleon argues that without New Orleans, there is no need to keep the Louisiana Territory at all. – Would we be interested in
buying all of it?
– Problem: We’ve never been there ourselves• We don’t know what we will
find– Rivers? – Mountains? – Prairies? – Swamps?
