In 1803 Thomas Jefferson acted upon Napoleon's offer to sell the Louisiana territory. At the time, Louisiana was a vast French territory considerably larger than the present-day state of Louisiana. Napoleon, needing money to fund the aptly-named Napoleonic Wars, sold the area to the United States, under President Thomas Jefferson. Louisiana was formally turned over to the U.S. on December 20, 1803.
The Louisiana Territory had been a land purchase transaction by the United States of America of 828,800 square miles of the French territory 'Louisiane' in 1803. The U.S. paid 60 million francs ($11,250,000) plus cancellation of debts worth 18 million francs ($3,750,000), a total cost of $15,000,000 for the Louisiana territory.
