@napoleonic_q I know you’ve got two already! But I’d love to know why he though giving up Louisiana was worth it at all, was it simply not important enough economically and politically in comparison to his continental goals,

In 1847 as the Irish famine raged, a prison was opened on a small Irish island

Within 5 years it was the largest prison in the world

Within 20, it had redefined modern approaches to prisoner reform

This is the story of Spike Island (1)
