Asked in Colonial America, History of the United States
What was the first state to be formed from the Louisiana Territory?
The first state formed from Louisiana Territory was
Missouri.
Louisiana was the first state formed from the Louisiana
Purchase. But the State of Louisiana was not formed from the
Louisiana Territory. It was never part of the Louisiana
Territory.
The land in the Louisiana Purchase was divided in 1804 into a
southern part, the Territory of Orleans, and a huge northern part,
the District of Louisiana, later called Louisiana Territory.
The Territory of Orleans became the State of Louisiana in 1812.
In order to avoid confusion with the State of Louisiana, the
Louisiana Territory was renamed at that time as Missouri
Territory.
The first state whose land had been part of Louisiana Territory
was Missouri, which became a state in 1821.

Asked in History of the United States
What state was Purchase in 1819 and why was it important?
We have no idea.
The only US state that became a state in 1819 was Alabama. It
wasn't "purchased", it was part of the Mississippi Territory, which
had been claimed by the state of Georgia before being donated to
the US government.
The state most commonly associated with the word "Purchase" is
Louisiana, but a) the Louisiana Purchase occurred in 1804, and b)
the state of Louisiana was formed from part of the area involved in
the Louisiana Purchase in 1812, both well before 1819, so it seems
unlikely that's what you're referring to.
