Answer
Wednesday July 8, 2015
Category: THE THOMAS JEFFERSON ADMINISTRATION
Clue: OF THIS AGREEMENT, THOMAS JEFFERSON SAID HE "STRETCHED THE CONSTITUTION UNTIL IT CRACKED"

Answer What is the Louisiana Purchase?

I mean, not that many things happened during the Jefferson admin. Lewis and Clark, I guess. And there is the first ever foreign war, an invasion against Muslim people, but they don't like to talk about that in the history books, since we lost that one too.

I think the prenuptial agreement between Lewis and Clark stretched the Constitution further than the Louisiana Purchase.
