Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something incredible about America. This country didn't just stumble into greatness; it was built on bold decisions, tough negotiations, and visionaries who understood the art of making a deal.
And one of the biggest, most incredible deals in history-the Louisiana Purchase-set the stage for everything we know and love about the United States today. This was no ordinary land grab; this was the kind of transaction that only comes around once in a lifetime.
