Question: Did Sweden start the revolt and war with Britain during the Louisiana Purchase?
About the article "Louisiana Purchase", section "Abstract".

Candidate passages:
The Louisiana Purchase ( "Sale of Louisiana") was the acquisition by the United States of America in 1803 of of France's claim to the territory of Louisiana.
The U.S. paid 50 million francs ($11,250,000) plus cancellation of debts worth 18 million francs ($3,750,000), for a total sum of 15 million dollars (around 4 cents per acre) for the Louisiana territory ($ million in dollars, less than 42 cents per acre).
The Louisiana territory encompassed all or part of 15 present U.S. states and two Canadian provinces.
The land purchased contained all of present-day Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska; parts of Minnesota that were west of the Mississippi River; most of North Dakota; most of South Dakota; northeastern New Mexico; northern Texas; the portions of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental Divide; Louisiana west of the Mississippi River, including the city of New Orleans; and small portions of land that would eventually become part of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
France controlled this vast area from 1699 until 1762, the year it gave the territory to its ally Spain.
Under Napoleon Bonaparte, France took back the territory in 1800 in the hope of building an empire in North America.
A slave revolt in Haiti and an impending war with Britain, however, led France to abandon these plans and sell the entire territory to the United States, which had originally intended only to seek the purchase of New Orleans and its adjacent lands.
The purchase of the territory of Louisiana took place during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson.
At the time, the purchase faced domestic opposition because it was thought to be unconstitutional.
Although he agreed that the U.S. Constitution did not contain provisions for acquiring territory, Jefferson decided to go ahead with the purchase anyway in order to remove France's presence in the region and to protect both U.S. trade access to the port of New Orleans and free passage on the Mississippi River.
While the sale of the territory by Spain back to France in 1800 went largely unnoticed, fear of an eventual French invasion spread nationwide when, in 1801, Napoleon sent a military force to secure New Orleans.
Southerners feared that Napoleon would free all the slaves in Louisiana, which could trigger slave uprisings elsewhere.
Though Jefferson urged moderation, Federalists sought to use this against Jefferson and called for hostilities against France.
Undercutting them, Jefferson took up the banner and threatened an alliance with Britain, although relations were uneasy in that direction.
In 1801 Jefferson supported France in its plan to take back Saint-Domingue, then under control of Toussaint Louverture after a slave rebellion.
Jefferson sent Livingston to Paris in 1801 after discovering the transfer of Louisiana from Spain to France under the Third Treaty of San Ildefonso.
Livingston was authorized to purchase New Orleans.
In January 1802, France sent General Leclerc to Saint-Domingue to re-establish slavery which had been abolished in law and in the constitution of the French Republic of 1795, both in France and its colonies, to reduce the rights of free people of color and take back control of the island from Toussaint Louverture, who had maintained St. Domingue as French against invasion by the Spanish and British empires.
Before the Revolution, France had derived enormous wealth from St. Domingue at the cost of the lives and freedom of the slaves.
Napoleon wanted its revenues and productivity for France restored.
Alarmed about the French actions and its intention to re-establish an empire in North America, Jefferson declared neutrality in relation to the Caribbean, refusing credit and other assistance to the French but allowing war contraband to get through to the rebels to prevent France from getting a foothold again.
In November 1803, France withdrew its 7,000 surviving troops from Saint-Domingue (more than two-thirds of its troops died there) and gave up its ambitions in the western hemisphere.
In 1804 Haiti declared its independence but, fearing a slave revolt at home, Jefferson and the US Congress refused to recognize the new republic, the second in the Western Hemisphere, and imposed a trade embargo against it.
This, together with later claims by France to reconquer Haiti, encouraged by Britain, made it more difficult for Haiti to recover after ten years of wars.
In 1803, Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours, a French nobleman, began to help negotiate with France at the request of Jefferson.
Du Pont was living in the United States at the time and had close ties to Jefferson as well as the prominent politicians in France.
He engaged in back-channel diplomacy with Napoleon on Jefferson's behalf during a visit to France and originated the idea of the much larger Louisiana Purchase as a way to defuse potential conflict between the United States and Napoleon over North America.
Jefferson disliked the idea of purchasing Louisiana from France, as that could imply that France had a right to be in Louisiana.
Jefferson had concerns that a U.S. President did not have the constitutional authority to make such a deal.
He also thought that to do so would erode states' rights by increasing federal executive power.
On the other hand, he was aware of the potential threat that France could be in that region and was prepared to go to war to prevent a strong French presence there.
Throughout this time, Jefferson had up-to-date intelligence on Napoleon's military activities and intentions in North America.
Part of his evolving strategy involved giving du Pont some information that was withheld from Livingston.
He also gave intentionally conflicting instructions to the two.
Desperate to avoid possible war with France, Jefferson sent James Monroe to Paris in 1802 to negotiate a settlement, with instructions to go to London to negotiate an alliance if the talks in Paris failed.
Spain procrastinated until late 1802 in executing the treaty to transfer Louisiana to France, which allowed American hostility to build.
Also, Spain's refusal to cede Florida to France meant that Louisiana would be indefensible.
Monroe had been formally expelled from France on his last diplomatic mission, and the choice to send him again conveyed a sense of seriousness.
Napoleon needed peace with Great Britain to implement the Treaty of San Ildefonso and take possession of Louisiana.
Otherwise, Louisiana would be an easy prey for Britain or even for the United States.
But in early 1803, continuing war between France and Britain seemed unavoidable.
On March 11, 1803, Napoleon began preparing to invade Britain.
A slave revolt in Saint-Domingue (present-day Republic of Haiti) had been followed by the first French general emancipation of slaves in 1793-4, and had led to years of war against the Spanish and British empires which sought to conquer St. Domingue and enslave the emancipated population.
An expeditionary force under Napoleon's brother-in-law Charles Leclerc in January 1802, supplemented by 20,000 troops over the next 21 months, had tried to re-conquer the territory and re-establish slavery.
But yellow fever and the fierce resistance of black, mulatto and white revolutionaries destroyed the French army.
This was the culmination of the only successful slave revolt in history, and Napoleon withdrew the surviving French troops in November 1803.
In 1804 Haiti became the first independent black majority state in the New World.
As Napoleon had failed to re-enslave the emancipated popultion of Haiti, he abandoned his plans to rebuild France's New World empire.
Without sufficient revenues from sugar colonies in the Caribbean, Louisiana had little value to him.
Spain had not yet completed the transfer of Louisiana to France, and war between France and Britain was imminent.
Out of anger against Spain and the unique opportunity to sell something that was useless and not truly his yet, Napoleon decided to sell the entire territory.
Although the foreign minister Talleyrand opposed the plan, on April 10, 1803, Napoleon told the Treasury Minister François de Barbé-Marbois that he was considering selling the entire Louisiana Territory to the United States.
On April 11, 1803, just days before Monroe's arrival, Barbé-Marbois offered Livingston all of Louisiana for $15 million, equivalent to about $ in present-day values.
The American representatives were prepared to pay up to $10 million for New Orleans and its environs, but were dumbfounded when the vastly larger territory was offered for $15 million.
Jefferson had authorized Livingston only to purchase New Orleans.
However, Livingston was certain that the United States would accept the offer.
The Americans thought that Napoleon might withdraw the offer at any time, preventing the United States from acquiring New Orleans, so they agreed and signed the Louisiana Purchase Treaty on April 30, 1803.
On July 4, 1803, the treaty reached Washington, D.C..
The Louisiana Territory was vast, stretching from the Gulf of Mexico in the south to Rupert's Land in the north, and from the Mississippi River in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west.
Acquiring the territory would double the size of the United States at a sum of less than 3 cents per acre. 
American colonization.
Louisiana Purchase.
French control over the area east of the Mississippi River ended in 1763 with the conclusion of the French and Indian War.
Colonists from the Thirteen Colonies began to expand into the Ohio Country during the 1750s.
The Royal Proclamation of 1763 temporarily restrained expansion west of the Appalachian Mountains, but did not stop it completely.
West of the Mississippi River, French settlers flourished in towns such as St. Louis and Ste.
Genevieve until the mid-18th century.
France ceded the rest of New France to Great Britain and Spain at the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Seven Years War (the French and Indian War).
Britain received all lands east of the Mississippi River, including Canada, Acadia, and parts of Louisiana, while Spain received the territory to the west—the larger portion of Louisiana.
Spain returned its portion of Louisiana to France in 1800, but French leader Napoleon Bonaparte sold it to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, permanently ending French colonial efforts on the American mainland.
American settlement began either via routes over the Appalachian Mountains, such as Braddock Road, or through the waterways of the Great Lakes.
Fort Pitt (now Pittsburgh) at the source of the Ohio River was an early outpost of the overland routes.
The first settlements in the Midwest via the waterways of the Great Lakes were centered around military forts and trading posts such as Green Bay, Sault Ste.
Marie, and Detroit.
The first inland settlements via the overland routes were in southern Ohio or northern Kentucky, on either side of the Ohio River, and early such pioneers included Daniel Boone and Spencer Records.
The region's fertile soil made it possible for farmers to produce abundant harvests of cereal crops such as corn, oats, and, most importantly, wheat.
The region soon became known as the nation's "breadbasket". 
The "Louisiana Purchase" in 1803, was negotiated with Napoleon during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson; the territory was acquired from France for $15,000,000 (equivalent to $ in present day terms).
A small portion of this land was ceded to Britain in 1818 in exchange for the Red River Basin.
More of this land was ceded to Spain in 1819 with the Florida Purchase, but was later reacquired through Texas annexation and Mexican Cession. 
Jefferson's foreign policies.
The Louisiana Purchase.
In his first Inaugural Address, Jefferson outlined a vision of the United States eventually expanding into the Louisiana Territory west of the Mississippi River.
When he became president, the territory was the property of Spain, which had acquired it by the Treaty of Paris (1783).
But, when Napoleon Bonaparte annexed Spain into his French Empire in 1801, the territory secretly reverted to French ownership.
When France closed the port of New Orleans to U.S. commercial trade in 1802, Jefferson realized that he must take action in order to protect the economy of the western states and territories that relied on the Mississippi and New Orleans.
The president sent James Monroe and Robert Livingston to Paris to inquire about purchasing New Orleans from the French.
At the same time, Napoleon was fighting a losing war in Haiti, where he lost more than two-thirds of his invasion forces, mostly to disease, such as yellow fever.
Desperate for gold, Napoleon made Monroe and Livingston an offer through his representative Talleyrand to purchase the territory for $15 million.
Jefferson was pleased at the offer but felt that he lacked the constitutional power to purchase the land.
Following his doctrine for "strict" interpretation of the Constitution, Jefferson prepared to draft an amendment to the Constitution giving Congress the express power to purchase land.
Hearing of the delay in the United States and rapidly running out of money, Napoleon ordered Talleyrand to leak information that hinted he would offer the territory to Great Britain if the U.S. did not act quickly.
At the urging of Monroe and Livingston, Jefferson relented and sent the annexation treaty to the Senate for approval without the benefit of an amendment.
With only a small group of Federalists resisting, the US acquired the territory of Louisiana as the Louisiana Purchase.
The size of the United States was doubled, and Jefferson was confronted with governing the diverse population of ethnic French, Spanish, Mexican, most of whom were Catholic, and Native Americans who lived in the territory and had lived under both French and Spanish law.
To this end, Jefferson proposed the Louisiana Government Bill, which created an appointed government for the territory and established a system for collection of taxes.
Treasury Secretary Gallatin successfully financed the purchase by selling U.S. bonds in London for gold, then shipping the gold to Paris.
Governing the Louisiana Territory was more difficult.
There were large slave populations in several slave states, especially present-day Louisiana.
Southern slaveholders widely feared that American slaves would follow the example of those in Saint-Domingue, and revolt.
Southerners wanted slavery legalized in Louisiana, both so they could ship their slaves to the new territory for agricultural development and to reduce the threat of future slave revolts.
Congress passed the law to institute slavery in the acquired territory, which Jefferson signed.
This contributed to the crisis of the Union a half century later.
Before the purchase was complete, Jefferson had commissioned the Lewis and Clark expedition to survey the new territory.
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were sent out by Jefferson to collect scientific data on the new territory, write an ethnography of the native peoples, establish a trade network between native nations and the United States, and discover the extent of the purchased land.
They traveled to the Pacific Coast to establish a national claim there.
