    The Louisiana Purchase was of huge importance to the United States because it secured more trade opportunities. When President Thomas Jefferson purchased the land from France for only $15 million, it was for Jefferson’s own idea of how the U.S. should be. The purchase gave the United States access to the Mississippi river and to New Orleans, so that no other country could close it off and threaten the trade of the United States. The purchase was meant to strengthen the U.S’s trade with the other European countries and in the West Indies. By having control of the river, the United States no longer needed to or would have to pay customs to export their products to the rest of the world. President Jefferson also wanted the U.S. to be primarily an agrarian republic made up of white land owning men, because he felt that urban…

    “Observe good faith and justice towards all nations, [for] Cultivative peace and harmony with all”- George Washington. This quote exemplifies George Washington’s notion on the disengagement of the United States in foreign affairs which was an highly persuasive ideology for presidents after him and the treaties they made with other nations to negotiate specific issues. For instance, the Louisiana Purchase was notably: “One of the greatest purchases of land acquisition in the United States”. After the Louisiana territory was seized by Napoleon Bonaparte and his military, the American colonists wanted to acquire the port of New Orleans as they sought lucrative economic success from trades, and therefore sent two representatives, James Monroe and Robert Livingston to negotiate the deal in French Parliament. The French were financing the Napoleonic wars and were highly in debt and were craving to refinance their economy. France could not "defend" the vast area of Louisiana and knew it was wise to make the offer to the…

    Throughout the Jacksonian era the Jacksonians proved to be violators of the United States Constitution and not the guardians they believed themselves to be. Both the Jacksonians and President Jackson went against the Supreme Courts regarding cases that were said to be constitutional. An instance in which the Jacksonian Democrats violated the Constitution was in the "Trail of Tears". The Supreme Court stated that the Jacksonian Democrats' actions were unconstitutional because they had issued the "Indian Removal Act". By doing this, they were in violation of the treaty of New Echota. In the 1832 decision Worcester v. Georgia, Chief Justice Marshall ruled that the Cherokees had their own land and that they did not need to follow Georgia law in their own territory. This ruling of the Supreme Court did not stop Jacksonians from driving the Cherokees off of their land. Jackson used the Constitution to benefit himself when he vetoed the national bank, even after the Supreme Court had already ruled that the bank was constitutional. When South Carolina declared a reduced tariff void and threatened to secede, President Jackson responded in an unconstitutionally. He threatened to send militia to enforce the tariff and the Jacksonian Congress passed a bill approving this military force, if necessary. This was in direct violation of the Constitution. They continued to violate the Constitution by placing censors on the mail and intercepting abolitionist literature or mail into or from the south. This was an infringement on the Constitution because it violated the first amendment.…

    The Louisiana Purchase was a huge contributor to nationalism, as it literally gave American citizens more of a nation to be nationalistic about. With the Louisiana Purchase, the size of America was doubled, giving more clout to America as a country, but also giving more confidence to Americans. Agriculture, trade, and exploration could all be increased with this single purchase, as there was now an immense amount of land that could be explored, as well as permission to travel along the MIssissippi River, both which could be utilized to American benefit. Dependency on Spain for trade and commerce could possibly be banished, and discrepancies with France were settled. In addition to this, Americans gained a larger sense of freedom. Citizens…

    At the start of the 1800s the United States was only a shadow of its present self. The United States did not develop geographically into the nation known today until the end of 1803 when the current president, Thomas Jefferson, negotiated one of the most successful real estate purchases in United States history. This land purchase with France became known as the Louisiana Purchase, and is acknowledged as an enormous accomplishment for President Jefferson. The Louisiana Purchase is a significant event in United States history, not only by doubling the size of the United States, but by having a considerable effect on the young nation’s foreign and domestic affairs.…
