Question

Why was France willing to sell the French Territory to the United States?

Too expensive to maintain
No resources in the area
To have access to the Port of New Orleans
To pay for the country's expensive wars

Answer 1

The answer is D. To pay for the country’s expensive wars

Answer 2

Well, the area was relatively cheap to maintain, so it cant be A. There were a lot of resources in the area, so its not B, and C is just not correct, so D is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

France was fighting Britain at the time that this trade took place, and the wars were over seas, and that is much more expensive. France needed a lot of cash, and fast, so they sold the land.
