| King Charles III of Spain helped King Louis XV of France in a war against Great Britain | In 1762, King Louis XV of France gave the Louisiana Territory to King Charles III of Spain |
| Spain felt threatened by many Americans coming to the LA territory | So they broke the treaty in 1798 and Americans no longer had access to the port. |
| The Queen felt the whole Louisiana Territory was just a big swamp | So she signed the deal and gave the LA territory to Napoleon |
| Napoleon insisted that the land deal be kept a secret | Which upset President Jefferson, who did not want Napoleon to be his neighbor |
| Jefferson hoped that he could settle things with Napoleon peacefully and did not want to go to war unless it was necessary | So he sent Robert Livingston to France to avoid war |
| Many settlers wanted a better life for their familes | So they moved west in hopes of building a better life |
| Many Americans were proud and loyal to their nation | So they decided to stay where they were even though times were difficult after Spain closed the treaty |
| Livingston could not hear very well nor could he speak French | Which made his time in France even more difficult |
