Very true. When Napoleon decided to sell, Jefferson was concerned that the US might lose access to New Orleans if the country that bought the land didn't want to let Americans use it to get to the Mississippi. He sent to diplomats to buy New Orleans and just New Orleans. In fact, he probably panicked when he found out he'd doubled the size of the country because there was nothing in the Constitution that directly governed adding new territory.
