$10 million was spent for the Gadsden Purchase. $37 million went to pay down the national debt from #69 million when he took office down to $31 million when he left. Around $20 million went to native Americans for land and annuities.
Surveys and studies were made for a trans-continental railroad. Some money was spent to improve harbors and dredge waterways. Soldiers' pensions cost around $7 million. Of course, there were the usual expenses of running the government.
