The Louisiana Purchase
On the 30th April, 1803, the US agreed in Paris to pay $15 million for about 828,000 square miles. It became known as the Louisiana Purchase, and almost doubled the area of the United States.
The Louisiana Purchase occurred during Thomas Jefferson's term as the United States president. Land had been bought by the United States from France. However, the United States did not know how much land it had bought. Jefferson sent an expedition to map the new territory. This was known as the Lewis and Clark expedition.
