B.to try to buy New Orleans and West Florida from France

Explanation:

  • At one point, Napoleon renounced plans for an empire across the ocean, needed money to war with Britain, and of the 30,000 troops he sent to Santo Domingo in 1802 to suppress rebellion and reestablish slavery, many suffered from fever.
  • Thus, in April 1803, Napoleon's Foreign Minister suddenly asked Americans how much they would give for the whole of Louisiana.
  • US negotiator Robert Livingston reiterated that America just wanted New Orleans and what was then called Florida, which included the current Florida peninsula and the coastal belt now belonging to Alabama and Mississippi.
  • They bought Louisiana (double the size of the former US territory) at a cost of $ 15 million set by Napoleon.
