Abstract
Historian Peter Onuf explains that Thomas Jefferson's interest in the Louisiana territory was not driven by a desire to double the size of the United States. Knowing that France had an interest in New Orleans, Jefferson was concerned that the new western states, like Ohio and Tennessee, could be "seduced into the French orbit," and that "...the existing Union would fall apart."
