Revenge for British helping Indians

Imagine that you are James Monroe. Thomas Jefferson has sent you to Paris to purchase the port city of New Orleans from Napoleon for no more than $10 million. Write a letter to President Jefferson explaining that you went over budget, buying all 820,000 square miles of the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon for $15 million, or about three cents per acre.

With this purchase, you have more than doubled the size of the American lands. Justify your actions in 4-5 sentences.
