"America's fountain of youth" Joseph J Ellis
Thesis:
In the early 17th century, the presidency of Thomas Jefferson influenced people's views on freedom, resulting in the Louisiana Purchase. Jefferson was interested in buying Louisiana to get rid of foreign superpowers, earn freedom, and have more farmers. Even though there was a lot of opposition because people thought it was a waste of money and it was unconstitutional, he ended up doing so. The Louisiana Purchase set up a precedent for acquiring land in the future.
