This course examines the events and political decisions behind the Louisiana Purchase. We will be examining the history of the Louisiana Territory and Napoleon's reasons for selling it.

The first half of the course will examine the deal itself, and the last half will focus on Jefferson's constitutional dilemma. The course will largely be lecture-based with some discussion.
