- This is Thomas Jefferson
- I really need to get a hold of that Louisiana Territory... there is just too much to worry about with other nations controlling it. It will also be very valuable for us.
- Slayt: 3
- Napoleon was dealing with many matters at this time, and his forces were spread very thin. This was a problem, because if it continued, he wouldn't be able to continue war with Britain. Napoleon had a large ego and pride to protect, and so he was looking for a cover story in order to pool his troops back to France. Eventually, the Louisiana Purchase serves as exactly this.
- That pesky Toussaint "Croissant" L'Ouverture messed up everything!
- Resources are running so thin! If this keeps up, I won't be able to win against Britain!

- (He speaks Spanish when he is scared)
- You aren't allowed to trade or pass through here anymore... I am the boss!! You are a loser! HAHAHAHA!
- Ay ay ay! Eres tan aterrador! Tu eres el jefe ahora... yo soy el perdedor!

- Napoleon soon took control of the port from the Spanish

- Yes Mr. Jefferson(synchronously)
- 2) I'll sweeten the deal and make it 10 million and TWO baguettes!

- 3) WHATTTT! I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO OVER 10 MILLION AND A FEW STALE BAGUETTES!
- 5) Oh my god! I a going to be the greatest president ever... I just doubled the size of our nation!
- The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the nation at the time, boosting Jefferson's public image.

Now, lets give Jeff some time to process what he just heard...
