A Big Purchase

When President Jefferson bought Louisiana from Napolean, he doubled the size of the United States and thought that this purchase would be enough land for a long time. What I think is interesting that is taught about but not emphasized when learning about the Louisiana purchase, is the fact that many Indians were kicked out of their homes and forced to move. The trail of tears was a devastating and horrible moment in history and it seems that it is never discussed with enough seriousness with which is should be.
