Hello! In this episode, I finalize my coverage of the Louisianna Purchase. We go over the Haitian revolution and how that impacted the French ownership of the teritorry. We also dive into the negotiiantion between the US and France in regard to how much money the territory was worth. We then look into the aftermath of the purchase, primarily how the purchase was percieved in our new government and how the territory was eventually included within the United States.

I did try my very best with the French and Spanish names... It might not sound like it, but I really tried.
