Answer:

It was sold by Indians for very cheap.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I remember correctly it was sold for like $5-$10 or something cheap. The Europeans who came to that area cheated them out of the deal because they were not able to understand what they meant, like many other Native Americans. Ironically, the cheap land was turned into one of the most popular cities in the world!
