In 1803 France offered to sell the Louisiana Territory to the United States for $15 million (which is about $250million today.) Jefferson was a constructionist and wasn't sure if it was in the constitution for him to buy land as a president. He also felt that this would better America and help it stay a farming based nation. After senate also agreed, the plan was finalized.
No, Lewis and Clark did not come from Europe; they were American explorers. Meriwether Lewis was born in Virginia, and William Clark was born in Virginia as well, both of whom were part of the United States during the early 19th century. Their famous expedition, known as the Lewis and Clark Expedition, aimed to explore the newly acquired western territories of the United States after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
The Louisiana Purchase was signed on April 30th 1803 in Paris by Robert Livingston, James Monroe, and Barbé Marbois.
