James Monroe and Robert Livingston were sent to Paris by Jefferson to attempt to purchase New Orleans. Napoleon Bonaparte was more than receptive to the idea, as he needed to raise funds for his European wars after having his budget decimated by an independence fight in Haiti. He upped the ante by offering the entire Louisiana Purchase for $15 million. Livingston and Monroe returned with an offer that would greatly expand the boundaries of the United States.
The Louisiana Territory had been a land purchase transaction by the United States of America of 828,800 square miles of the French territory "Louisiane" in 1803. The U.S. paid 60 million francs ($11,250,000) plus cancellation of debts worth 18 million francs ($3,750,000), a total cost of $15,000,000 for the Louisiana Territory. After finally purchasing the Louisiana Territory, and two weeks before inauguration day Jefferson asked Lewis, in January of 1803, to go on the journey. Jefferson then requested $2500 from Congress to pay for the costs of the trip.
