Period 5:


 * Spain was basically all of the current United States west of the Mississippi. Once Spain started to get old and crack something new appeared. That thing was France.

( Mr Titzel will then begin to talk about what the text meant after each chapter. Basically summarizing what was read and putting it in his own words to help us better understand.)
 * Start to read page 80 in the "Whats the Deal" book.


 * __Notes:__**
 * Louisiana was really all wilderness. Meaning there weren't very many Europeans or Americans living in that area. However, there were many Native Americans.
 * French Bought Louisianna.
 * Napoleon was starting to get on most Americans bad side. People began to think that the French and others would start invading.
 * The Spanish closed the port of New Orleans to American shipping causing a crisis. This led Jefferson to send James Monroe to France to buy New Orleans.
