The Louisiana Purchase, considered one of Jefferson's crowning achievements during his presidency, occurred entirely by accident at the whim of Napoleon Bonaparte, who was in dire need of funds to fight his European wars. All the following statements accurately describe the Louisiana Purchase EXCEPT:
a. Jefferson, a strict constructionist, justified the purchase of the Louisiana territory because the acquisition would serve the immediate interest of western settlers and promote peace and security for the nation.
b. The land deal offered no clear description of the territory's geography, inhabitants, or resources, or even if it included Spanish-held West Florida.
c. Despite Jefferson's initial concerns, both parties greeted the Louisiana Purchase Treaty with fanfare. In a remarkable display of bipartisanship, the Senate ratified the treaty unanimously.
d. For Jefferson, the Louisiana Purchase eliminated the French threat and served as a potential place to relocate Native Americans and freed enslaved people.
