Answer:

15 million

Step-by-step explanation:

I would say that Napoleon sold the Louisiana territory to the U.S. in 1803, because he thought it too difficult to defend. He also needed the money. This happened, as I recall, in a short lull between the wars of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars. ... This was the war for American independence, ending in 1782
