Best Answer

In 1803, the year that la Louisiane changed hands from Napolean Bonaparte's France to Thomas Jefferson's U.S.A., most Americans lived on the strip of land between the Atlantic Coast and the great wall of the Appalachian Mountains. In other words, most still lived in the original 13 states of the U.S.

By 1803, enough hardy pioneers had made their way west of the Appalachians to thinly populate Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio which were now states. The old "Indian Territory" was now called Indiana Territory (present-day Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin) and was essentially unsettled wilderness, as was present-day Alabama and Mississippi). Florida and West Florida belonged to Spain, although practically no Spaniards lived there; the sparse population was mainly a handful of Americans. Massachusetts included most of present-day Maine, and Virginia included all of present-day West Virginia.
