This Week in Eighth Grade History (November 28th - December 2nd)

Today we will be discussing and turning in the lists of the accomplishments of Thomas Jefferson that we created last week and this week. We will also spend some time on the questions on the Louisiana Purchase. Those questions should be answered from reading this page. Here are the questions:

1. Why did Jefferson make the Louisiana Purchase? How much was it and how much land did it cover?
2. What was surprising about Jefferson's decision to make the Louisiana Purchase?
3. Who do you think opposed the Louisiana Purchase and why?
