THE BIGGEST INTERNATIONAL TRADE SINCE THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE: MADRID TRADES SOCCER SUPERSTAR DAVID BECKHAM TO THE LA GALAXY FOR 128 million pounds. This is said to be the biggest athltetic signing in the history of sports. With Beckham now in the US, the international soccer leauge hopes to reach a whole new fan base and spark an interest in soccer in the Americas. This gigantic trade of goods relates to the trade Thomas Jefferson signed in 1803 known as the Louisiana purchase. HE signed to buy all of France's Louisiana Territory west of the Mississippi for a meager 15 million dollars. This also sparked a sense of popularity and interest in lands west, and also the hope of finding the Pacific ocean to open up a new world of trade.
Both exchanges have/ or will leave a lasting impression on America in one way or the other. Americans hope to see what good Beckham will bring to American sports like they hoped to see what the purchase of western lands would bring to american politics and economy.
