The addition of what territory more than doubled the size of the US?

alot of people would argue and say that it was the Louisiana Purchase, but it was actually the Mexican Cession. Addition: This is the problem when people randomly answer questions. The Mexican Cession was just over half a million square millions. The Louisiana Purchase was over 800,000 square miles. Maybe the original person who wrote this was thinking square km since the Mexican Cession is larger if one places it in KM and the Louisiana Purchase in square miles. However, if you convert one, you have to convert the other and that means the latter would still be larger.

French Louisiana included all lands west of the Mississippi river except the southwest (claimed by Spain) and the Pacific northwest (claimed by England and Russia). However the precise boundaries of the Louisiana Purchase were (and still are) uncertain.

Not entirely. The Louisiana Purchase included a huge swath of land west of the Mississippi River -- the Louisiana Territory (French Le Louisiane) was nearly as large as the existing United States, including all or part of 13 current US states.The intent of the Purchase was to acquire the port of New Orleans. Napoleon, unable or unwilling to maintain control of New France, offered to sell the entirety of the remaining French claims in North America.
