1. President Thomas Jefferson had many reasons for wanting to acquire the Louisiana Territory. The reasons included future protection, expansion, prosperity and the mystery of unknown lands. President Jefferson had a personal library filled with the world's largest selection of books on the Louisiana Territory.

2. Jefferson wanted Lewis and Clark to treat American Indians fairly because he hoped that the Indians might trade with American merchants instead of Spanish and British. The reason Jefferson gave for urging passage of the Embargo Act is that trade was America's most powerful weapon.

3. Between 1793 and 1812, the British impressed more than 15,000 U.S. sailors to supplement their fleet during their Napoleonic Wars with France. ... On 18 June, the United States declared war on Great Britain, citing, in part, impressment.

4. He believed that economic coercion would convince Britain and France to respect America's neutral rights. The embargo was an unpopular and costly failure. It hurt the American economy far more than the British or French, and resulted in widespread smuggling. Instead, smuggling flourished, particularly through Canada.

I hope this helped you.
