Why didn't everyone want America to buy The Louisiana Purchase of 1803?

The US did not have the money to make the purchase- they had to borrow it from banks in Europe and they already had a lot of territory that was unsettled. There was also concern about whether new states that might be formed would allow slavery or in some other way upset the balance in the Senate.
