As a President I accomplished a lot, most people would agree that I was a very good president. One of my greatest accomplishments was the Louisiana Purchase. In 1803 I bought 800,000 square miles of land from France. I believed that by purchasing all that land it would prevent our country and other countries from fighting and going to war. Even though I had to pay $15 million dollars and borrow some money from Great Britain it nearly doubled the size of the United States creating more diversity and opportunities.

My name is Dwight D. Eisnhower and I am the 34th US president. I really apprectiate all you have done to expand the United States. Without the Louisiana Pruchase, I would not have been able to make the Interstate system as great as it is. Even though it cost a lot of money, it was worth it in the end. Without your additon, we wouldn't be as developed as we are today!

Hello Mr. Jefferson! I am Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President, and I am very happy about all your decisions. Although it was called unconstitutional at the time and this purchase was rather expensive, I would have done the same. I believe that the addition to our country was the beginning of many great things to come.
