The Louisiana Purchase nearly doubled the size of the United States when Thomas Jefferson bought the territory from France in 1803. All or part of 15 states are included in the territory and it allowed for Americans to discover new space and resources in the west. It was also purchased for only 3 cents an acre, incredibly cheap considering all that it provided to American society
