The US did not buy Illinois specifically from the French before or after the Louisiana Purchase. Illinois was part of the larger territory acquired by the US through the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. The Louisiana Purchase included the entire Mississippi River Basin, which encompassed present-day Illinois.
Louisiana is larger. It is a state, whereas Miami is only a city.
You have a misunderstanding here. Louisiana purchased nothing, the US purchased the territory that France identified as Louisiana which was much larger than the modern state of Louisiana. French Louisiana included all lands west of the Mississippi river except the southwest (claimed by Spain) and the Pacific northwest (claimed by England and Russia). However the precise boundaries of the Louisiana Purchase were (and still are) uncertain.
they wanted to make their boundaries larger and buying land 3cent an acre was a good price.

alot of people would argue and say that it was the Louisiana Purchase, but it was actually the Mexican Cession. Addition: This is the problem when people randomly answer questions. The Mexican Cession was just over half a million square millions. The Louisiana Purchase was over 800,000 square miles. Maybe the original person who wrote this was thinking square km since the Mexican Cession is larger if one places it in KM and the Louisiana Purchase in square miles. However, if you convert one, you have to convert the other and that means the latter would still be larger.

There was increased conflict between slave owners and people who wanted slavery to end. (apex)
Not entirely. The Louisiana Purchase included a huge swath of land west of the Mississippi River -- the Louisiana Territory (French Le Louisiane) was nearly as large as the existing United States, including all or part of 13 current US states.The intent of the Purchase was to acquire the port of New Orleans. Napoleon, unable or unwilling to maintain control of New France, offered to sell the entirety of the remaining French claims in North America.
Louisiana has more land.
The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 nearly doubled the size of the territory controlled by the US in North America. It represents 23% of the current total area of the US, and 27% of the area of the contiguous 48 states.
