Thomas Jefferson and The Louisiana Purchase

Jefferson and/or Jackson

Purpose: Understanding why Jefferson saw this as an opportunity based upon his belief in yeomen farmers,

HLQ: Was Jefferson true to his vision of limited government?

In your posr address why France was ready to sell and why Jefferson viewed this as an opportunity. Was Jefferson true to his vision of limited government? Was he true to his vision of land as the base of wealth and the yeoman farmer as the model citizen? As always cite your sources. Again you need two robust responses,

OR

Andrew Jackson and the Indian Removal

Purpose:

Higher Learning Question:

This policy resulted in the Trail of Tears, one of the most tragic events in our country’s history for many of our citizens; however, I want you to focus on another aspect of the events.

What happened to this rich farmland in the deep south?

Who populated it?

What was the basis of the economy of the region?

As always, please write approximately 200 words for the post. Cite your sources. I have given you several sources on the broad subject, but I caution you to focus on the questions I have asked.

You may also write a short historical fiction where you make up a character and describe the events that happened on the Trail of Tears. This might be longer but should be fun.
