The Louisiana Purchase was indeed unconstitutional. If we hadn't made that purchase, we could have avoided the civil war. Also, we wouldn't have so many rednecks fucking up our elections. Even though I loved Jefferson, he was wrong to use government money to purchase this land....despite it being a really good deal.

They'd have been better off as a different country. My guess is by now, if we hadn't have purchased the land, it would still belong to America because France would have been lost in WWII. After Germany lost, we'd have gotten that land.

We wanted New Orleans, and those cheese eating surrender monkeys would have handed it over to us when (not if) we attempted to take it by force - but they probably would not have given us the rest of the territory. Who knows for sure how that would have affected us later as far as allegiences, but I doubt we'd have beaten Germany under a confederacy with fewer resources...

Regardless, the purchase was unconstitutional so it simply does not exist right? Just like immigration laws.

Now that is some funny shit. What a fucking idiot. Yea, you tell that to all the people West of the Mississippi. In this case you should give up your house and all your belongings to some illegal alien family. What a bunch of convoluted thinking. You have no idea what would have happened if we had not purchased the land.
