The United States acquired Oregon as part of the Louisiana Purchase. Thomas Jefferson wanted to buy the city of New Orleans from France but Napoleon needed money and suggested the United States buy all of the French lands on North America for $15 million dollars. It became a state on February 14, 1859, and was the 33rd state to join the union.
