Thats not how it happen. Napoleon Bonaparte didn't even know how big was the territory. Thomas Jefferson wanted to buy New Orleans for 10 million but Napoleon said he'll sell all of the Louisiana territory for 15 million.
Wasn't Napoleons lands to sell. Native treaties of alliance with France did not confer ownership. This deal resulted in a hundred years of American genocide of Natives.
Man, sucks to have been the people of the original Louisiana, just getting sold to a foreign country that spoke another language and had totally different views on race relations stuff... And where's their culture now? A side show in an Anglo-American state. I'm glad Quebec and the Acadians didn't end up meeting the same fate culturally as those poor guys Cajuns and Creoles...
@greatbarzoffire France never sold *Haiti. There was a revolt, and France LOST Haiti. They made the deal with America to sell the Louisiana Territory because without Haiti's exports (mainly sugar), they didn't have enough money for the French Revolution and all of their war expenses. Just saying.
Anyway, I love this little clip. It made me laugh :)
aww! Nepoleon is so cute in this XD
