Книга "Луизианская покупка" (полный вариант) рассказывает о событии, произошедшем в 1803 году, когда президент Томас Джефферсон купил территорию Луизианы у Франции за 15 миллионов долларов. Эта покупка осуществила мечту президента Джефферсона о расширении Соединенных Штатов к западу от реки Миссисипи. Теперь у значительно увеличенных Соединенных Штатов возникли сложные вопросы, на которые нужно было найти ответы: как управлять Луизианой? Как разделить ее на штаты? Будут ли эти штаты свободными или рабовладельческими? Что произойдет с коренными американцами? Ответы на эти вопросы появились только спустя более ста лет, после войны за рабство и создания тринадцати новых штатов.
Covers the story of how Louisiana joined the United States after being purchased from France in 1812. Covers also topics such as the opinions of surrounding states, reactions in France, details behind the purchase, explorations that came with it, impact on Louisiana residents, calendar scale map of Louisiana at the time of purchase, some interesting facts about Jefferson and Free Soilers.
The Louisiana Purchase, Edited and with a Foreword by Peter B. Roop is an illuminating book about one of the most important executive actions of President Thomas Jefferson. Very readable for anyone interested in the history of our country, the author unfolds the stories behind the era unfolding right before the eyes of President Jefferson's Cabinet Members and secures these alarming questions about how to govern and divide a newly purchased territory. It is also an informative reading for entree-level historians, who could equally well use this book for classroom teaching as it exhibits a simple narrative style combining narratives about local events and global issues thrown up by the purchase with detailed insights about state and territory politics at the state, local(regional) and national levels well documented in its scholarly footnotes. Readers will definitely find it as riveting as me.

Описание книги от Peter Roop
In 1803 President Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana territory from the French for $15,000,000. The purchase made President Jefferson's dream of extending the U.S. west of the Mississippi River come true. Now the much larger United States had difficult questions to answer: How would Louisiana be governed? How would it be divided into states? Would those states be free states or slave states? What would happen to the Native Americans? It would take over one hundred years, a war over slavery, and the creation of thirteen new states before these questions could be answered.
