The Louisiana Territory was a vast region of North America purchased from France in 1803, effectively doubling the size of the United States. It encompassed land west of the Mississippi River, including parts of 15 current U.S. states, and was explored by Lewis and Clark from 1804 to 1806. This acquisition significantly contributed to westward expansion and the idea of Manifest Destiny.
