The Louisiana Purchase occurred during Thomas Jefferson's term as the United States president. Land had been bought by the United States from France. However, the United States did not know how much land it had bought. Jefferson sent an expedition to map the new territory. This was known as the Lewis and Clark expedition.
France was desperate for money, so they sold the land to Jefferson for $15 million (a cheap price for that much land!). Seeing a great deal and a good chance to expand the U.S., Jefferson bought it.
There weren't really any treaties so much as buying land and waging war. Basically some of them are: - The Louisiana Purchase - Treaty of 1818 - Texas Revolution, then annexation of Texas - And finally the Mexican-American War
It lacked strategic value, but it bought time for the Texas Army to consolidate and became a symbol of defiance and a rallying cry.
On the 30th April, 1803, the US agreed in Paris to pay $15 million for about 828,000 square miles. It became known as the Louisiana Purchase, and almost doubled the area of the United States.
Texas was NOT bought it was won in the Mexican- American war.

The resource of land brought colonists to Texas. Much of Texas was unsettled, so colonists could acquire more land there than they ever dreamed of on the other side of the Mississippi river. Also, there was warm weather for farming, and since much of the land was unsettled, there was plenty of timber.

Texas occupies 268,581 square miles, while California occupies 163,696 square miles. Therefore, Texas occupies 1.64 times more area than California does. However, we have much better land, more trees, and better rivers. :-)
