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.

No, the Louisiana Purchase was not solely about the state of Louisiana. It actually involved a much larger territory that stretched from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains and doubled the size of the United States. While the acquisition did include the state of Louisiana, it also included parts of 14 other states in the present-day United States.
