- Louisiana Purchase. U.S. buys Napoleon's
Domains
1800 - By
the secret Treaty of San Ildefonso (1800)
the French regains Louisiana Territory.
Napoleon envisioned a great French empire
in the New World, and he hoped to use the
Mississippi Valley as a food and trade
center to supply the island of Hispaniola,
which was to be the heart of this empire.
Without Hispaniol, he had little use for
Louisiana. Facing renewed war with Great
Britain, he could not spare troops to
defend the territory; he needed funds,
moreover, to support his military ventures
in Europe.

Stubblefield's hero. Nathan, like his
father, considered the soil around the
farm, was nothing more or less than a
static storage bin for plant nutrients and
the EMW energy collected by lightning rods
to keep the home fires burning, and Liebig
confirmed it.
•
1803 02 - Thomas Jefferson pushed through
the Louisiana Purchase, even though such
an action was nowhere expressly
authorized. His eager interest in the West
and in exploration had already led him to
plan and organize the Lewis and Clark
expedition. He held that West Florida was
included in the Louisiana Purchase.
