Section 2:1. New Orleans and the Mississippi River were crucial for early 1800s farmers due to their role as key transportation routes for exporting agricultural goods to markets both domestically and internationally.2. Napoleon planned to establish a French empire in North America, but due to financial difficulties and a lack of military success in the region, he decided to sell Louisiana to the United States. American farmers were alarmed by this because they feared losing access to the Mississippi River and New Orleans, which were vital for their economic prosperity.3. On April 30, 1803, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France in the Louisiana Purchase. Napoleon was willing to make this deal primarily because he needed funds for his European military campaigns and because he was facing challenges in maintaining control over the vast territory.4. Pros of the Louisiana Purchase: - Increased the size of the United States, doubling its territory. - Secured control over the Mississippi River and access to the port of New Orleans, crucial for trade and economic growth. Cons of the Louisiana Purchase: - Raised constitutional questions about the extent of presidential power to acquire new territory. - Ignited tensions with Native American tribes and other European powers, leading to conflicts over land and resources.5. (Illustration not provided)Section 3:1. President Monroe ordered Andrew Jackson to prevent Seminole raids from Florida into Georgia in 1818. Instead, Jackson invaded Florida, captured Spanish forts, and executed two British citizens, actions that became known as the First Seminole War.2. The United States made the Adams-Onís Treaty with Spain in 1819 to end the conflict over Florida. Under this treaty, Spain ceded Florida to the United States in exchange for the U.S. agreeing to assume $5 million in claims by American citizens against Spain and renouncing any claims to Texas.
