Compare and contrast the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railroads. Include the main entrepreneurs, funding, and routes.

This isn't an answer per se, but I'm going to give you some tips on how to answer this on your own.

First, get two sheets of paper. Research Northern Pacific. If you get stuck, check Wikipedia (with a grain of salt). Write down all your observations on one sheet detailing what you know about Northern Pacific. Do the same thing with the other sheet but for Great Northern. Then compare. If the observation is the same for both companies, put it in the both section. if it's unique to one company, Put it in that one's section. this method should allow you to compare the differences, which will be helpful both for assignments like these in the future and comparing possible decisions.

Louisiana Purchase DBQ
(I know its a lot.. its due in 45 minutes so take your time :) I only have 123 points but if you do this you can have 100)

Task:
DBQ: Analyze the documents within the DBQ: Louisiana Purchase. Then write an analytical paragraph that explains how the purchase of the Louisiana Territory impacted the U.S.A. and Jefferson’s presidency. Use the information provided in the following documents as well as readings and notes from this unit to support the response.

Document A:
In 1800, when the armies of French ruler Napoleon Bonaparte moved across Europe, pressuring Spain into a corner, the Territory of Louisiana (New Orleans) and a huge slice of land controlled by Spain in the now central United States (an estimated 827,987 sq. miles in size) was ceded back to France by Spain via the Treaty of San Ildefonso.
On April 1, 1803, the United States of America was comprised of lands east of the Mississippi River, including a handful of states (17), and the Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Mississippi Territories.
At that time, besides the French Territory of Louisiana; modern-day Florida was still governed by Spain, and in the far west, excluding the British-controlled Oregon Country in the northwest, all available lands were still in the hands of Spain. In 1801, U.S. President Thomas Jefferson began his pursuit of just the French City of New Orleans (French Orleans Territory) in an effort to gain control of Mississippi River access; his $10 million offer was initially rejected by the French.
1.) What did the Treaty of San Ildefonso accomplish?


2.) How large was the Louisiana Territory?


3.) Why would Jefferson want to control access to the Mississippi River? How would control of the Mississippi impact the U.S.?







Document B:

In 1801, U.S. President Thomas Jefferson began his pursuit of just the French City of New Orleans (French Orleans Territory) in an effort to gain control of Mississippi River access; his $10 million offer was initially rejected by the French. Over the next year Napoleon was actively involved in his growing European military campaign against Britain, as well as other political conflicts in the Americas; apparently stretched-thin, he tired of his Louisiana Territory (and needing focus and funds) he finally wavered, and on April 30, 1803 he authorized the sale of the entire French Territory of Louisiana for $15 million, which included the City of New Orleans; justifiably, President Jefferson was jubilant.
The nation-changing Louisiana Purchase subsequently almost doubled the size of the United States overnight. This massive transfer of land included all of present-day Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa; most of Colorado, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming, as well as significant parts of North Dakota, Minnesota, Texas and Louisiana.
Parts of it also extended into what is now Canada for a short period of time. Eventually Spain ceded (lost) all of its territories to the United States, beginning in Florida in 1819, as the modern-shape of the U.S.A. finally came together.

4.) How much money did Napoleon sell the Louisiana Territory to the U.S.for?



5.) What did the purchase of Louisiana do to the size of the United States?








Document C:

6.) Who do you think the men in this picture are?


7.) What do you think is happening in this picture?










Document D:

8.) What countries owned the three major territories of North America?


9.) Based on the map above, what conclusions can be drawn about the Louisiana Purchase? (How could domestic and international affairs have been impacted?


10.) How could the purchase impact under-represented groups (children, indentured servants, enslaved people, Native Americans, women, and working class)?


11.) How does the map illustrate the growing diplomatic assertiveness of the U.S.?)
