No, Benjamin Franklin did not buy the Louisiana Territory. The territory was acquired by the United States from France in 1803 during Thomas Jefferson's presidency through the Louisiana Purchase, which was negotiated by Robert Livingston and James Monroe. Franklin was a prominent figure in American history and diplomacy, but he passed away in 1790, long before the purchase occurred.
