It was a win, win, situation for both the US and Napoleon. The US gained land for westward expansion and the Port of New Orleans and the Mississippi River, both of which were essential for commerce and growth in the midwest.
Napoleon gained the funds needed to continue his European war and also this sale was certain to be upsetting to Great Britain since it had prior claims to lands on the Pacific Coast of North America and an interest in commerce via New Orleans.

In 1803, Napoleon Bonaparte made a deal with Thomas Jefferson to sell the Louisiana Territory to the United States. He did this because he needed money to pay for all the wars he had started in Europe.
It is unclear the exact motives that Napoleon had in mind as regards the lands that would eventually become the Louisiana Purchase, but he was envisioning creating a North American Empire, so he was likely going to use the position to attack Spanish Texas and British Canada.

Okay first of all, because he was Napoleon. Second, you are stupid for going here. Third, IM A TROLL. YOU SHALL NOT BE ANSWERED MWAHAHAHA.
The Louisiana Territory was purchases from Napoleon Bonaparte of France.
Selling Louisiana to France gave Napoleon a path to attempt to rebuild France's empire in North America. Of course, his plan was unsuccessful.
Napoleon sold the Louisiana territory to USA which almost doubled the size of the USA. This was sold for a very low price for a lot of land. This was important, because Napoleon helped the USA a lot by selling them this land. When the US president bought it, they were thinking it was unconstitutional, but in the end decided to buy it. This purchase was called the "LOUISIANA PURCHASE!" Napoleon was the leader of France at the time
They were at war and wars are expensive so selling the land provided money for war.
