By "money" I assume you mean the Louisiana Purchase. The whole of Kansas was part of the Louisiana Purchase agreement, together with parts or the totality of 14 other states.
Louisiana purchase let them buy a whole mess load of the Middle states
The whole territory of Louisiana (around 12 states) was owned by the Spanish, but Napoleon persuaded the Spanish to give it back to France in 1802. The Us bought the territory from Napoleon in 1803.
I live in Monroe Louisiana and my mom and dad lived in Louisiana there whole life well so far.. so all know is they got Louisiana!! ahha :P
France, ruled by Napoleon at the time, offered the Louisiana Purchase to the United States during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson because it was a way to alleviate some of the French national debt at the time. The purchase was made for $15 million. There was no one person that appealed to the French emperor for the land.
The Louisiana Purchase included land in the following areas:ArkansasMissouriIowaOklahomaKansasNebraska, parts of Minnesota that where west of the Mississippi Rivermost of North Dakotanearly all of South DakotaNortheastern New MexicoMontana east of the Continental DivideWyoming east of the Continental DivideColorado east of the Continental DivideLouisiana west of the Mississippi River, including the city of New Orleans
Florida, and parts of Georgia and Alabama
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 during Thomas Jefferson's presidency. 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.
The cost was 15 million US Dollars or 60 million French francs. Because this was paid in installments, the total including interest was $23,213,568. Jefferson originally sent Monroe and Livingston with $10 million to purchase New Orleans, but Napoleon offered them the whole of Louisiana for only $15 million, so they could not refuse.
Napoleon sold Louisiana to the U.S. It was a French colony the whole time. Napoleon was using the colony as a base for sugar trading in the Caribbean. He planned to take Santo Domingo to expand his territories in that area, after the planned conquest failed, he sold his U.S colonies having no more use for them. This deal was known as the Louisiana Purchase and it included the area of all and parts of 15 states. He also hoped that the U.S could use the ports at Louisiana to disrupt British interest in the Northern Carribbean.
About $15 million dollars for the whole Louisiana Territory
Later on, four whole states (Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska) and parts of nine others (Louisiana, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota) were made from the vast area of land that was purchased.
