The Louisiana Purchase gave the US the chance to control the Port of New Orleans, a major port for trade. It also allowed settlers to move farther west than ever possible before. Citizens in the East were running out of land to farm and build settlements, so the Louisiana Purchase allowed citizens to move West and farm. It gave the United States control of a large amount of natural resources in the West and helped farming become a major staple of the economy.
It increased the real concept of Manifest Destiny, One Nation from sea to shining sea. Also If Jefferson had not bought the Louisiana purchase France, England and Spain might still have some land in North America. By purchasing this piece of land, the size of the United States just about doubled.
