At the time of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, California was owned by Spain. Following the Napoleonic Wars and subsequent treaties, Spain ceded its territories to France, which briefly controlled California before the territory was transferred to the United States after the Mexican-American War in 1848. Ultimately, California was not part of the Louisiana Purchase itself but became a U.S. territory later.
Yes, during the Revolutionary War, Ohio was not yet a state but was considered a part of the Northwest Territory, which was largely unorganized and inhabited by Indigenous peoples. The region was claimed by various colonial powers, and it was primarily explored and settled after the war. The formal establishment of Ohio as a territory occurred later, in 1787, with the Northwest Ordinance.
The purchase of the "Louisiana Territory" from France did nothing to help later settlers to California; California was, at that time, part of Spain. However, Oregon was part of the Louisiana Territory (although the border between what would become Washington State and Canada was not yet fixed.) And much of the path that settlers would take to California and Oregon was through the Louisiana Territory. Perhaps the biggest point was that the purchase of the Louisiana Territory placed the United States adjacent to the Spanish colonies which later became Mexico. In 1835, the Texan war of independence from Mexico began, culminating in the 1836 defeat of the Mexican forces at the Battle of San Jacinto. (The Battle of the Alamo of a few months earlier was a tactical defeat but a strategic victory, delaying the Mexicans and providing time for Texan troops to be gathered.) The acceptance of the Republic of Texas into the United States provoked the Mexican-American War in 1845. The 1846 Bear Flag Rebellion created the short-lived California Republic, and the US crushed the Mexican forces and annexed California.
It became a Spanish Colony and 400 years later Impearlist Americans made it a part of their Empire as a US Territory.

After the Mexican-American War, the whole territories of California were split on Alta California (Upper California) which corresponds to the present-day US state of California, and Baja California (Lower California) which corresponds to the peninsula of the same name. It became the territory of Baja California for the following 80 years, until 1930 when the Mexican Congress decided to split up such territory in two: the North Territory of Baja California (Territorio Norte de Baja California) and South Territory of Baja California (Territorio Sur de Baja California), being divided by the 28th parallel.Years later in 1951, Mexican president Miguel Aleman Valdes announced that the North Territory of Baja California satisfied the conditions required by the Constitution to be admitted as a free and sovereign state: population and economic ability to survive without federal support. The new state was named as Estado Libre y Soberano de Baja California (English: Free and Sovereign State of Baja California).Finally, in 1974 Mexican President Luis Echeverria Alvarez pushed a bill for the South Territory of Baja California to be elevated to the category of state.

Spanish territory claimed the largest territory that later became a part of the United States.
The California Republic, also known as the Bear Flag Republic, lasted for a brief period from June 14 to July 9, 1846. It was established by American settlers in revolt against Mexican rule. The U.S. military later took control during the Mexican-American War, leading to California becoming a U.S. territory officially in 1848.
