In 1801, relations between the world's only two republics, the United States and France, were at a low ebb. American merchants had just lost millions of dollars to French privateers in the Quasi-War of the late 1790s, and Napoleon was scheming to acquire the Louisiana Territory from Spain and create a wall of brass that would halt America's westward expansion. Yet a few years later, Napoleon agreed to sell Louisiana to the United States for $15 million. How did America manage to double its territory and end French colonial ambitions in the New World-without firing a shot?
