History of Louisiana - Information Every Congressional Congress Candidate Should Know

In 1800, Napoleon Bonaparte acquired Louisiana from Spain, and started to make plans to reestablish the French presence in New Orleans. This disturbed U.S. President Jefferson at the time, who saw this as a detriment to the Untied States trading along the Mississippi. Louisiana history changed permanently when Jefferson decided to negotiate a purchase of New Orleans and portions of the Mississippi for $2 million dollars to assure the U.S. colonies right to move freely and trade along the river. When the Spanish got wind of this trade, they closed the port in New Orleans, causing outrage in the newly formed United States. Although the public demanded war, Jefferson held his temper and sent an envoy to Napoleon upping the offer for New Orleans to 10 million dollars.

His envoys found themselves negotiating for the entire territory of Louisiana. Napoleon, greedy for the money to help him wage war against England, agreed to the sale for a total of $15 million dollars. While Jefferson had authorized $10 million for a port city he found himself doubling the size of his country overnight, allowing for the much wanted expansion to the west he had thought would be good for the country. There were some federalists that objected to the purchase, saying the Louisiana territory was nothing but a worthless desert.

On November 29, 1803 the United States raised their flag in the port city of New Orleans and took control of the entire Louisiana territory for less than 3 cents per acre and made the once weak Independent Colonies a new world superpower.

New Orleans history was again influenced by trade, but during the 1800s, primarily by the growing slave trade. The boom in this ports activities moving slaves from Africa and the Caribbean boosted it to become one of the richest cities in the Union. Eventually the Union army captured New Orleans during the American Civil War.
