The sheer audacity of American expansionism laid bare! Seriously, checking the receipts on how this massive country was assembled is wild. Napoleon sold off the entire Louisiana territory for a mere $7.2 million because he was busy fighting in Europe. Then, Florida was basically gifted for $5 million! The only piece of major real estate acquired through conflict was against Mexico—California, Arizona, New Mexico, and beyond. What a historical property portfolio! 🤯 \\#USExpansion \\#HistoryFacts
