The Louisiana Territory had been a land purchase transaction by the United States of America of 828,800 square miles of the French territory "Louisiane" in 1803. The U.S. paid 60 million francs ($11,250,000) plus cancellation of debts worth 18 million francs ($3,750,000), a total cost of $15,000,000 for the Louisiana Territory.

Although the Louisiana Territory was now claimed as "American" land, there were still several French trappers in the area as well as thousands of Native Americans. There may have been some Dutch traders along the way but Russians would be rare.
