What were his goals? I just read that he wanted to shrink the federal government and its expenses. But I don't see how those to events contribute to those goals.
One of his goal that he wanted to bring the price down the one goal and at a time the govenrment was to big that it was so much taxes people had to do that is the other goal

Pay no attention to Sophya. She has no idea.
I am doing some history work and I found out he wanted to lower the federal budget, and he also bought the Louisiana.
