What land was claimed by the US and Britain?
The Louisiana Purchase
Who owned the the land before the Louisiana Purchase and why did they agree to sell the land?
That land was claimed by France. Napoleon agreed to sell it to the US to get money he needed to fund his wars in Europe.
What are two countries that claimed the Louisiana territory before it became a part of the us?
Before becoming part of the United States, the Louisiana Territory was claimed by France and Spain. Initially, France established control over the territory in the early 18th century, but it ceded the land to Spain in 1762. France regained ownership briefly in 1800 before selling it to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803.
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.

Why did Louisiana purchase the land west of Mississippi?
You have a misunderstanding here. Louisiana purchased nothing, the US purchased the territory that France identified as Louisiana which was much larger than the modern state of Louisiana. French Louisiana included all lands west of the Mississippi river except the southwest (claimed by Spain) and the Pacific northwest (claimed by England and Russia). However the precise boundaries of the Louisiana Purchase were (and still are) uncertain.
