There were a number of problems involved in the Louisiana Purchase by the United States. First was President Jefferson's concern that the Federal government might not have the right to purchase new land for the nation. Second, once the land was purchased, its vast, unexplored size posed challenges for effective governance. Finally, Spanish and Native American influence within the new territory was still significant: Americans moving westward could (and in fact did) put their lives in danger despite the new ownership of the lands in question.
