The Louisiana purchase. 850,000 square miles of the Mississippi valley and the mid-west for 15 million dollars - a bargain for less than 3 cents per acre. And the Americans were prepared to pay 10 million dollars for New Orleans alone. Luckily for them Napoleon was reeling from the shock of being defeated by Haiti. The purchase doubled the size of the United States at the stroke of a pen.
The area known as the Louisiana Purchase, which is located west of the Mississippi River valley was purchased from France.
Louisiana.

Well, yes, but the Louisiana purchase also included Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, parts of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, New Mexico, Texas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and part of what is now Canada. Almost a quarter of the current United States was part of that purchase.
The Louisiana Purchase included what is now Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, most of Kansas, the parts of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Rocky Mountains, and Minnesota and Louisiana west of the Mississippi River (and including the city of New Orleans which is east of the Mississippi).
