Before 1803, the United States was primarily confined to the original 13 colonies along the East Coast, stretching from Maine to Georgia. The territory was relatively small compared to the vast expanse of land acquired later, particularly through the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, which doubled the size of the nation. At that time, the U.S. had limited western territorial claims, making it significantly smaller than its size post-1803 when it expanded westward.
