O D. To put an end to the African slave trade
SUBMIT
The correct answer is option C, To buy Louisiana Territory from France.
The Louisiana purchase was the United States' purchase of imperial rights to the western half of the Mississippi River basin from France in 1803.
The agreement gave the United States sole authority to acquire the land from its indigenous inhabitants, either through contract or conquest.
It is thought that Napoleon offered Louisiana for sale to the United States as a result of France's failure to put down a slave revolution in Haiti, the impending war with Great Britain, and a possible British naval blockade of France, combined with French economic difficulties.
