[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4170984, member: 18222"] You're such a stup! Did you finish high school? An easy Google search brings up dozens of newspaper articles against the purchase. Even Jefferson was not sure he should do it.

Also, different areas in the US thought they would lose support or become less represented. The Louisiana Purchase was a big controversy back in its time that led to further decisions in the future for America. The Louisiana Purchase was considered a controversy because some people did not think Jefferson should have made the deal in the first place. Thomas Jefferson made the purchase that ended up not helping the nation at the time.
