Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Two centuries after the signing of the Louisiana Purchase, modern Americans consider the acquisition a foregone conclusion, inherent in our nation's 'manifest destiny.' At the time of the treaty, however, the idea of doubling the nation's size appeared to many as impossible, undesirable, and even unconstitutional. On the twohundredth anniversary of its signing, a reexamination of one of the biggest land deals in American history is timely and revealing.In 1803 President Thomas Jefferson charged James Monroe and Robert Livingston with the task of negotiating with the French to solve the longstanding problem of keeping an American port open at the mouth of the Mississippi River. Authorized to spend up to six million dollars to acquire as much as possible of New Orleans and Florida, Livingston and Monroe were instead stunned to be offered the entire Louisiana territory. Seizing the opportunity, the two men, as James Lewis writes in his lively analysis, 'agreed to spend twoandahalf times their budget to purchase a province that they had never been instructed to buy.'This volume offers a thoughtful understanding of a complex moment in American history, one which later became celebrated even as it raised fundamental questions about American polity and societyquestions about governance, slavery, union, and the young nation's place in the world.
