JAMES MONROE

HI, MY NAME IS JAMES MONROE. I WANT TO PURCHASE FLORIDA BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE HOW SPAIN GOVERNS IT.

IN 1804 JEFFERSON SENT TWO DIPLOMATS TO SPAIN TO BUY FLORIDA FROM SPAIN. SPAIN'S ANSWER WAS "NO DEAL."

I DIDN' WANT TO GO TO WAR WITH SPAIN, SO I SENT SPAIN A MESSAGE TO STOP INDIAN RAIDS FROM FLORIDA.

SPAIN WAS ALSO AFRAID OF WAR SO THEY DECIDED TO SELL US FLORIDA FOR $5 MILLION.
