For HW, you need to create Cornell Notes for pgs 343-345 in your textbook. Make sure you include the main ideas for each section in the left column, and COMPLETE the summary for the section as well (I've posted the one I modeled for last night's section below).
Also, please make sure you have resupplied your notebook paper (at least 25 sheets). I'll be checking and it's an easy 5 pt quiz grade!
DUE: WEDNESDAY!!!
Summary: After Spain had traded Louisiana territory to France, Napoleon considered this an opportunity to reclaim power in North America. U.S., viewing this as a threat to the critical port of New Orleans, wanted to buy the city from France. After a failed attempt to retake the island of Saint Domingue, and about to engage in war with Britain, France needed money and decided to sell the entire territory to the U.S. for $15 million in 1803. This doubled the size of the U.S., expanding the country from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains.
