My Answer - The immediate reason for the purchase was to provide continued access to the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi River port of New Orleans.
Answered by Ms. Sue
That's true. But the Louisiana Purchase was huge and extended the United States a long way toward the west.

Answered by Laruen
am i correct to that question

also
Toussaint L'Ouverture led the slave revolt in Haiti - it was successful. This was he first successful revolt by the slaves in the new world. Napoleon was furious because Haiti was a major money source for France. This occurred in 1801. Napoleon sent 54 ships and 23,000 men to find this rebel, but he alluded them for a long time. Finally he was forced to surrender, he was put in chains, put on a French ship, put in prison, he died a year later, but Haiti was free. L'Ouverture was the slave grandson of an African king.
