@historyfornormies: The Louisiana Purchase For Normies 🦟🗺️ Jefferson wanted a port. Napoleon needed cash. Mosquitoes wiped out 30,000 French soldiers in Haiti, wrecked France’s entire American empire, and accidentally handed the US 828,000 square miles — from the Mississippi to the Rockies — for 3 cents an acre. #louisiana #History #usa #americanhistory #USHistory
