When did the us officially own the Louisiana Territory?

Answer 1

This is somewhat of an issue as the Louisiana Purchase happened in 1803 and had more than just Louisiana in the area that was purchased and not all of what we know now as Louisiana was in the Purchase. The area covered under the Purchase was all of South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma. Then you have other states that parts of them were included in the Purchase such as Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana. Louisiana became an official state on April 30, 1812 becoming the 18th in the Union.
