Full text from the video
The United States accidentally doubled its size for the price of a few cents an acre.
Napoleon was totally broke after losing a revolution in the Caribbean and realized he couldn't
defend his land in North America. President Jefferson just wanted to buy New Orleans to help
farmers trade, so he sent diplomats to make a small deal. But Napoleon shocked
everyone and offered the entire Louisiana Territory instead. For just fifteen million bucks,
the US got massive amounts of land stretching from the Mississippi to the Rockies.
Jefferson wasn't even sure it was legal, but he signed the papers and changed
the map forever.
