The purpose of the Louisiana Purchase was to give the United States the port of New Orleans and thus control of the Mississippi river. Any other power in control of New Orleans would have been a natural enemy of the US because it could choke off all commerce from the western slopes of the Alleghenies, which went by river boat and flat boat to New Orleans and from there to the East Coast and the rest of the world. As it turned out, the Purchase also nearly doubled the size of the United States and this side effect, thought to be a waste at the time, may have been the primary long-term benefit of the transaction.

One action that Thomas Jefferson considered as going beyond the Constitution was his decision to purchase the Louisiana Territory from France. Although he believed that the purchase was necessary for the future expansion and development of the United States, he acknowledged that the Constitution did not explicitly grant the president the power to acquire new territory.

In 1803, Napoleon sold the territory known as Louisiana to the US. Thomas Jefferson was the US president at the time and deemed the purchase to be a good deal. First of all it was inexpensive, a mere 3 cents per acre. It also helped the US because the newly purchased land almost doubled the size of the US. The vast amount of land involved was fertile land, good for crops and later good for mining. It was an additional benefit in that the large city of New Orleans was part of the deal.
Through the Louisiana Purchase the United States acquired an area more than 828,000 square miles, doubled the size of the United States and opened up the continent to its westward expansion and also provided access to the Mississippi River .
