The 10th installment in the bestselling Nathan Hale’s Hazardous
Tales series tells the story of the Haitian Revolution and the
Louisiana Purchase  The Louisiana Purchase (1803) is today
seen as one of history’s greatest bargains. But why did Napoleon
Bonaparte sell this seemingly prosperous territory? At the time,
France controlled Haiti, and there, slaves were used to harvest
sugar. But in 1791, Toussaint Louverture led the largest slave
uprising in human history, the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804).
Napoleon had originally wanted to use Louisiana for trade, but with
Haiti out of his control, Napoleon’s dream of making a French
empire in North America seemed doomed. So when Thomas Jefferson and
James Madison tried to buy New Orleans, Napoleon sold them the
whole Louisiana Territory. Filled with wild and true facts and
Hale’s signature humor, the latest installment in the bestselling
series takes readers on another action-packed adventure through
history.
