THE
LOUISIANA PURCHASE.
T HE acquisition of the territory of Louisiana from France in 1803 may be regarded, from several points of view, as the most important event in the whole history of the United States. It added 1, 171,931 square miles to the United States-a terri- tory greater by 300,000 square miles than the entire domain of the nation as it then existed. The thirteen States and two territories which have since been carved out of the Purchase have, by the census of 1900, a population of 17,777,081, or nearly one-fourth of the population of the United States. Missouri, the fifth State in the Union, is in the Louisiana territory, as is also Texas, the sixth. As the crowning glory of the vast reaches of mining, agricultural and grazing lands embodied in the old Louisiana territory there have arisen great cities-St. Louis, the fourth city in the United States : San Antonio, one of the oldest towns in the country ; the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, centers of the summer resort region and the inland lakes ;

Hot Springs, whither people go by the thousands to re- gain their health; New Orleans, with its Mardi Gras, its opera and its whirl of gay society; Denver, the Mecca of all who seek a tonic of ozone ; rapidly growing Omaha ; and the five towns, Dubuque, Des Moines, Davenport, Burlington and Council Bluffs, in that State of Iowa which calls itself proudly the " State of large towns and no cities." Great navigable rivers-the Mississippi, the Missouri, the Rio Grande, the Arkan- sas, the Red, the White, the Platte, and the Iowa-sweep through the Louisiana territory to their ultimate outlet in the Gulf of Mexico. Pike's Peak, and a large por- tion of the Rockies, kings among the mountains of the earth, are within old Louisiana's borders, and here also is the Yellowstone National Park, set apart by the United States government as a place of sight-seeing for all future generations. But greater than all this is the fact that the purchase of the Louisiana territory, and the opportunities for development that it afforded, for- ever prevented the nation of the United States from being merely a province, a small portion of land set down on the Western Continent between the Mississippi River and the Atlantic Ocean, with opposing powers on every side except the east. Instead of this narrow fu- ture there was secured for the youthful nation a vast extent of possession which should be bounded, in the words of the enthusiastic statesman, "on the east by the Atlantic, on the west by the Pacific, on the south by the Gulf of Mexico, and on the north by the Day of Judgment."
182
İN A NUTSHELL.
The treaty by which the United States purchased the territory of Louisiana from France bore the date of April 30, 1803. That territory has since been divided into thirteen States and two territories. The States-the number identical, by an odd coincidence, with the thirteen original States which formed the Union - are Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and a part of Texas. The two territories are Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. The fact that only a part of Texas was contained in the Purchase was the reason why an invitation to the Governor of Texas was omitted in the preliminaries incident to the Louisiana Purchase Conference in January, 1899. Nevertheless, the Gov- ernor of Texas excused the oversight, and was a mem- ber of that body.
Although it was early in the history of the United States as a nation that Louisiana became a part of its possessions, the territory of Louisiana had been named and was known to the civilized world more than a cen- tury before the year 1803. La Salle, sailing down the Mississippi in 1682, bestowed upon all the unknown region west of that river the name of Louisiana, in honor of his sovereign, Louis XIV., King of France. The far-reaching limits of this magnificent and fertile territory became better known in the next century ; and as the island of New Orleans was soon colonized and grew to be the depot of supplies for the entire region, that small portion of land east of the Mississippi became
183

naturally a part of Louisiana, although all the rest of the territory was west of the river.
Louisiana was claimed by France until 1762, when the treaty of Fontainebleau transferred it from France to Spain, to repay Spain for losses suffered in the French and Indian War. The people of Louisiana- for by that time the territory, especially New Orleans, had been settled by many traders and planters-ob- jected to this transfer, protesting so strongly that it was not until 1769 that Spain actually took possession. From that time forward it was the hope of the French to recover this splendid territory for their own. The Americans-by which name the citizens of the United States were called even at that early period-were, on the other hand, better satisfied that Spain should pos- sess Louisiana than that this extensive territory should be owned by France. In case any jealousy or enmity should arise, the Americans argued that Spain would be a more sluggish adversary than France. The situa- tion, from the American standpoint, was expressed in the words of Montesquieu, afterward quoted by Robert R. Livingston, United States minister to France: "It is happy for trading powers that God permitted Turks and Spaniards to be in the world, since they are of all nations the most proper to possess a great empire with insignificance."
The people of the present generation, or even of the preceding generation, can with difficulty appreciate the importance of the Mississippi River in the year 1800. Railroads were unknown, neither were there any good

wagon roads west of the State of Pennsylvania. One who wished to go, for instance, from Nashville, Tenn., to New York, must ride in a flatboat-for steamboats were not yet invented-down the Cumberland river to the Ohio, down the Ohio to the Mississippi and on to the mouth of that river, then by sailing vessel out on the Gulf and along the Atlantic coast. It was the only means of travel. For commerce the rivers were an ab- solute necessity, and the Mississippi outranked all other rivers. Madison said of it: "It is the Hudson, the Delaware, the Potomac, and all the navigable rivers of the Atlantic States formed into one stream."
New Orleans was the key to the Mississippi River. Without it as a depot the western products could not be taken to a market and western commerce was paralyzed. Therefore, when Morales, Intendant of New Orleans, on October 16, 1802, arbitrarily suspended the right of deposit at New Orleans to all " foreigners," his act excited the greatest indignation among the peo- ple of the United States.
It was supposed by American statesmen that this de- cree came from Spain, but that it was dictated by France, for by this time there was a strong suspicion in the minds of Americans that France had succeeded in her cherished desire of regaining Louisiana from Spain. As far as Morales' decree was concerned, the light of sub- sequent history shows that the decree was his own officious act, sanctioned neither by Spain nor France. Nevertheless, France had actually secured possession of Louisiana by the secret treaty of St. Ildefonso on
185

October 1, 1800. Napoleon, with his wondrous power over men, had accomplished this by an empty promise of giving to the Spanish King's son-in-law the kingdom of Tuscany, yet he was afraid to let his triumph be made known, lest England with her great navy should prevent French occupation of Louisiana. It was im- possible for Napoleon to send troops to Louisiana at once because of the rebellion against France in St. Domingo, where brigade after brigade was brought low by tropical fever as rapidly as they could be transported.
In the meantime Rufus King, U. S. Minister in Lon- don, had sent Jefferson positive proof that Louisiana now belonged to France (November 20, 1801), and the President had dispatched Robert R. Livingston as minister to France. The excitement in America was intense. The Westeners went so far as to say that if Congress and the president could not secure for them the right of deposit at New Orleans and the free navi- gation of the Mississippi they would form a separate government of their own. James Ross, of Pennsylvania, made an impassioned speech in the Senate counselling strong measures. " Plant yourselves on the rivers," he said, "fortify the banks, invite those who have an in- terest at stake to defend it. When in possession you will negotiate with more advantage."
Mr. Livingston arrived in Paris, in December, 1801, and for the next twelve months consumed his energies in what seemed fruitless measures-first, to learn the truth about the retrocession from Spain to France, and, second, to make some terms with France. This was
186
IN A NUTSHELL.
slow work. On September 1, 1802, Livingston wrote to Madison, Jefferson's Secretary of State: "There never was a government in which less could be done by negotiation than here. There are no people, no legislators, no counsellors. One man is everything. His ministers are mere clerks, and his legislators and counsellors parade officers."
Rumors were current that Napoleon intended to plant an army in Louisiana. First it was Gen. Gollet, a dis- graced French officer, who was to be sent with a great company of disaffected and exiled English, Scotch and Irishmen. Then a reputed Frenchman named Francis Tatergem appeared on the scene, pretending that he had great friendship with the Creek Indians, that they hated Americans and loved the French, and that he could raise an army in Louisiana of 20,000 Indian warriors. These reports were received in America with varied emotions. Perhaps the most sensible, albeit the mildest view, was that taken by Senator Jackson, of Georgia, who said: "Should Bonaparte send an army of 40,000 men here and should they not be destroyed by our troops, they would within twenty years become Americans and join our arms. No other people can long exist in the vicinity of those of the United States without intermixing and ultimately joining with them."
With all the web of mystery which Napoleon wove around himself, however, he was nevertheless seriously considering the advances made on behalf of the United States. Livingston had been aided in France by Dupont de Nemours, a Frenchman, who was a friend of both

Jefferson and Bonaparte, and pressure was brought to bear also from Spain through Charles Pinckney, U. S. Minister at Madrid. Some of Napoleon's advisers urged, moreover, that since restoration of slavery had brought about a rebellion in St. Domingo, its existence as an institution in Louisiana might also breed trouble for the French. But the fear of England was a more powerful argument than any other. Jefferson did not hesitate openly to threaten that if the French occupied Louisiana, the United States would form an alliance with England. " From that moment," he said, "we must marry ourselves to the British fleet and nation."
On January 11, 1803, President Jefferson nominated James Monroe as a special minister tó France to assist Livingston and Pinckney, as the commission stated, " in enlarging and more effectually securing our rights and interests in the river Mississippi and in the territory eastward thereof." At first, it will be seen, the Presi- dent did not contemplate the purchase of the vast ter- ritory of Louisiana. He desired New Orleans and the Floridas, if he could get them, and for these posses- sions Monroe was instructed that he might pay a sum not to exceed $10,000,000. Monroe sailed March 8. 1803, and arrived in Paris April 7. After all, Living- ston and Pinckney might have performed the work un- aided, for Monroe found ripened fruit ready for the gathering. Napoleon was as anxious to sell Louisiana as the United States was to buy New Orleans, and there only remained a little haggling over terms, and the consent of the United States to take Louisiana along

with New Orleans. The Floridas were impossible at that time. as when the truth was known it was found that France did not own them.
Monroe was presented to Napoleon April 16, 1803, and negotiations were immediately opened between the two countries. It was agreed to include in the pur- chase price the claims of certain American citizens for indemnity against France, amounting to $3,750,000. The sum agreed upon for the territory itself was $1I,- 250,000, making a total of $15,000,000. The treaty was signed May 2, and the copies in English were made out so that they were all done about May 8 or 9. but the date of the treaty was fixed at April 30, as this was the actual time of the agreement between the min- isters.
When the treaty was concluded there was a general handshaking among the ministers. Both sides were pleased with the transaction. Livingston said: "We have lived long, but this is the noblest work of our lives : " and Napoleon declared : "This accession of territory strengthens forever the power of the United States. I have just given to England a maritime rival that will sooner or later humble her pride." Gayarre, a distinguished historian who died a few years ago, spoke of the treaty as " the most important ever signed in the nineteenth century, if it be judged by its conse- quences to the United States and to the rest of the world."
The United States Senate ratified the treaty October 19. 1803, and the ratifications of the two countries

were exchanged October 21. Jefferson signed the document on November 10, and on December 20, 1803, the Spanish Governor of Louisiana peacefully surrendered the province to Laussat, a commissioner appointed by Napoleon, who immediately passed it over to the government of the United States-a little less than eight months after the signing of the treaty.
Thus came to a conclusion that great event in his- tory, the 100th anniversary of which is to be celebrated in St. Louis in 1903 with the Louisiana Purchase World's Fair.
