Pros and Cons about the purchase!
Pros- more people came to live on their land so they could rule those people istead of the british and that made them feel they had more power. Also they got a lot of farm land to sell crops to get money to pay for all the land they just bought.Cons- There was only one con and that was they lost all the money at first but they gained it all back by the farms but that was later on.
