(First Paragraph) Add More to This!

The Louisiana Purchase, a purchase that doubled the size of the United States, greatly strengthened the country materially and strategically, provided a powerful impetus to westward expansion, and confirmed the doctrine of implied powers of the federal Constitution. This gives us the powerful nation we are to call home to this day, and for I am given the pleasure to explain why this event made that so.

(Second Paragraph)

The Louisiana Purchase was a big deal. The United States was having issues using the port of New Orleans. Western farmers needed to use this port to store and to ship their products. When we learned that Spain had transferred the Louisiana Territory to France, we offered to buy New Orleans and West Florida from France. It also ensured that France and probably other European countries would not try to take the land. (Now talk about this more)

(Fourth Paragraph)

The Louisiana Purchase demonstrates Jefferson's ability to make pragmatic political decisions. Although contrary to some of his central principles, guaranteeing western expansion was so important to Jefferson's overall vision that he took bold action. The gains were dramatic, as the territory acquired would in time add 13 new states to the union. (Now talk about this more)
