The Louisiana Purchase: Would You Close the Deal? (What Would You Do?)

At the dawn of the nineteenth century, President Thomas Jefferson dispatched Robert Livingston and James Monroe to negotiate with the temperamental French dictator Napoleon Bonaparte. Originally charged with only securing the Port of New Orleans and access to the Mississippi River, they soon were presented with the deal of a lifetimeâ€”the purchase of the whole Louisiana Territory.
