JEFFERSON BECOMES PRESIDENT

Thomas Jefferson,
the third President
of the United States,
called the United
States a rising nation,
spread over a wide
and fruitful land.
 JEFFERSONS FIRST PROBLEM

France closed the port of New Orleans to

western farmers, hoping to stop the United
States from moving farther west past the
Mississippi River.
 THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE

Thomas Jefferson sent

representatives to ask
the French leader,
Napoleon Bonaparte
to sell part of Louisiana,
including New Orleans
to the United States.
President Jefferson
offered $10 million.
DEALING WITH NAPOLEON
Napoleon was
fighting two wars.
One in the
Caribbean and one
with England.
He needed money
to pay the costs of
these two wars.
 LETS MAKE A DEAL
Napoleon responds with an offer of the of purchase price was
$15 million which was 3 cents per acre.
Today, the $15 million=$200 million.
But it will be for ALL OF THE LOUSIANA TERRITORY!
A bargain considering the new Wildcreek High School that will
be built in Reno in 2020 will cost between $100-$200 million.
 DEAL OR NO DEAL?
On April 30, 1803, the United States agreed
to purchase the huge territory, reaching
from the Mississippi River west to the Rocky
Mountains and from New Orleans north to
Canada.
The territory became known as the
Louisiana Purchase.
Eventually, this land would become 15 new
states.
 WAS IT A GOOD DEAL?
The Louisiana Purchase doubled the
size of the United States.
With this land purchase, the U.S. became
one of the largest countries in the
world.
The Louisiana Purchase was one of the
largest land sales in the history of the
United States.
 LEWIS AND CLARK EXPEDITION

Thomas Jefferson asked Meriwether Lewis to lead an

expedition to learn all he could about the new land.
Lewis asked his friend William Clark to assist him with the
expedition.
York, William Clarks slave, also helped with the mission to
explore the new land.
 CORPS OF DISCOVERY
The leaders of the expedition called their group the Corps
of Discovery.
The group left from St. Louis and traveled up the Missouri
River in 1804.
The main goal of the journey was to map the land for
President Jefferson.
They encountered many Native American tribes along the
way.
 SACAGAWEA BIRD WOMAN
Sacagawea agreed to
travel with Lewis and
Clark and serve as a
translator.
She was 15 years old.
She carried her infant
son on her back during
the journey.
She died at the age of
26.
 RESULTS OF THE EXPEDITION

Lewis and Clark traveled from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean.
They returned to St. Louis in 1806.
The expedition lasted almost 3 years and was a success!
They brought back maps showing the major rivers and
mountains, seeds, plants, and even living animals.

Indian Removal Act
You will add to main idea to your Cornell Notetaker:
1. Indian Removal Act
2. Trail of Tears
 Indian Removal Act
Early in the 19th century, while the rapidly-growing United States expanded
white settlers faced what they considered an obstacle.
The area was home to the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chicasaw and
Seminole nations.
These Indian nations, in the view of the settlers and many other white
Americans, were standing in the way of progress.
Eager for land, the settlers pressured the federal government to acquire
Indian territory. The settlers saw potential for agriculture on these lands.
 Indian Removal Act
In 1830 President Jackson pushed a new piece of legislation called the "Indian
Removal Act" through both houses of Congress.
Under this Act, the Native Americans were to give up their lands east of the
Mississippi in exchange for lands to the west.
Those wishing to remain in the east would become citizens of their home state..
The removal was supposed to be voluntary and peaceful, but the nations
resisted, and Jackson forced them to leave.
 Trail of Tears
The Indian-removal process continued. In 1836, the federal government
drove the Creeks from their land for the last time: 3,500 of the 15,000
Creeks who set out for Oklahoma did not survive the trip.
This journey was known as the Trail of Tears
The federal government promised that their new land would remain
unmolested forever, but as the line of white settlement pushed westward,
Indian country shrank and shrank.
In 1907, Oklahoma became a state and Indian territory was gone for good.
