@EclipsedStar please help

cookiemonster:

@EclipsedStar you there? :)

EclipsedStar:

At the time that area was under France's rule. Napoleon desperately needed funds for his army in Europe while America was deciding over Manifest Destiny (to take control of the land from the east to the west). So, they bought it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Purchase

cookiemonster:

ok... so what would be the answer?

EclipsedStar:

I did mention Napoleon ;o D lol

EclipsedStar:

He did face another looming war he knew was inevitable too. That's another reason he needed funds for weapons

cookiemonster:

awesome next @EclipsedStar Veena writes an essay about Native Americans in the 1800s: Native Americans and U.S. settlers struggled for land during the early 1800s. U.S. citizens slowly pushed Native Americans off their traditional lands. They fought wars, such as the Seminole War, for control of Louisiana. Native Americans lost these struggles and were pushed farther and farther west. Which statement corrects a mistake in Veena's essay? Native Americans usually gave up their lands voluntarily. The Seminole War was fought over control of Florida. Most Native Americans moved south, rather than west. U.S. citizens had little interest in Native American lands.
