Question: When did the rulers of the country that sold New Orleans to the United States during the reign of terror start?

The U.S. paid fifty million francs ($11,250,000) and a cancellation of debts worth eighteen million francs ($3,750,000) for a total of sixty - eight million francs ($15 million, equivalent to $300 million in 2016). The Louisiana territory included land from fifteen present U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. The territory contained land that forms Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska; the portion of Minnesota west of the Mississippi River; a large portion of North Dakota; a large portion of South Dakota; the northeastern section of New Mexico; the northern portion of Texas; the area of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental Divide; Louisiana west of the Mississippi River (plus New Orleans); and small portions of land within the present Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Louisiana Purchase (French: Vente de la Louisiane ``Sale of Louisiana '') was the acquisition of the Louisiana territory (828,000 square miles or 2.14 million km2) by the United States from France in 1803. Its non-native population was around 60,000 inhabitants, of whom half were African slaves. <SEP> The Committee of Public Safety (French: Comité de salut public) -- created in April 1793 by the National Convention and then restructured in July 1793 -- formed the de facto executive government in France during the Reign of Terror (1793 -- 94), a stage of the French Revolution. The Committee of Public Safety succeeded the previous Committee of General Defence (established in January 1793) and assumed its role of protecting the newly established republic against foreign attacks and internal rebellion. As a wartime measure, the Committee -- composed at first of nine, and later of twelve, members -- was given broad supervisory powers over military, judicial, and legislative efforts. It was formed as an administrative body to supervise and expedite the work of the executive bodies of the Convention and of the government ministers appointed by the Convention. As the Committee tried to meet the dangers of a coalition of European nations and counter-revolutionary forces within the country, it became more and more powerful. <SEP> during the french revolution, red became a symbol of liberty and personal freedom used by the jacobins and other more radical parties. many of them wore a red phrygian cap, or liberty cap, modeled after the caps worn by freed slaves in ancient rome. during the height of the reign of terror, women wearing red caps gathered around the guillotine to celebrate each execution. they were called the "furies of the guillotine". the guillotines used during the reign of terror in 1792 and 1793 were painted red, or made of red wood. during the reign of terror a statue of a woman titled liberty, painted red, was placed in the square in front of the guillotine. after the end of the reign of terror, france went back to the blue, white and red tricolor, whose red was taken from the traditional color of saint denis, the christian martyr and patron saint of paris. <SEP> On 6 April the Committee of Public Safety was created, which gradually became the de facto war - time government. <SEP> in 2005, the un security council adopted resolution 1624 concerning incitement to commit acts of terrorism and the obligations of countries to comply with international human rights laws. although both resolutions require mandatory annual reports on counter-terrorism activities by adopting nations, the united states and israel have both declined to submit reports. in the same year, the united states department of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff issued a planning document, by the name "national military strategic plan for the war on terrorism", which stated that it constituted the "comprehensive military plan to prosecute the global war on terror for the armed forces of the united states...including the findings and recommendations of the 9/11 commission and a rigorous examination with the department of defense".
