Thomas Jefferson - A Character Sketch
The Louisiana Purchase
by Ellis, Edward S. (A.M.)
|
In effecting the purchase of Louisiana, Mr. Jefferson has thus been
eulogized by James G. Blaine, in his "Twenty Years of Congress:"
"Mr. Jefferson made the largest conquest ever peacefully achieved, at a cost
so small that the sum expended for the entire territory does not equal the
revenue which has since been collected on its soil in a single month, in
time of great public peril."
