The year is 1805 and the U.S. Prez decides to make a major land purchase. In taking a detour from a strict constitutionalist philosphy the interest rate to make the deal happen was 6.38%. I was guessing much lower because of my perception that everything cost less, including borrowing money. The Measuring Worth site provided the data.
The price of the deal was a "song" at $15 million to buy land at 4 cents an acre. The Treaty of Cession added 828,000 sq. mi. to Thomas Jefferson's vison to extend "an empire of liberty".
I referenced the Measuring Worth web site in my comment above becuase I was directed to it by Infochimps.
