The Louisiana Purchase: The Potential to Learn


Louisiana Purchase
Purchased in 1803
On the North American Continent
By President Monroe
Medium: Land and Money

           Along with thinking outside the box, you need room 'outside' to facilitate learning. And this is shown by the idea behind the Louisiana Purchase.
           Ever since the formation of the United States of America, the nation wanted to expand. At the beginning of the 1800s, President Monroe had his eye on purchasing a large piece of land west of the current United States. Even though it was a costly purchase, Monroe was able to see the potential that this purchase could create for the nation. And that is my next characteristic that I wish to talk about: potential. It’s great to learn about the benefits of temporary actions, but it is even better to know the potential and future benefits that can come. Learning that eternity is more important than temporary is a great piece of knowledge to have.
