What were the Differences in the United states without The Louisiana Purchase in 1803?

Answer 1

The Louisiana Purchase consisted of the land owned by France on the North American continent. It bordered on the United States, which, at the time, stretched only to the Mississippi River, plus what today is Michigan. At the time, it was referred to as the Northwest Territory. The Purchase territory stretched from New Orleans, up to what is now Washington and Oregon. [It did not include the Southwest, which did not become US territory until after the Mexican War.]
In 1803 Napoleon was preparing for more wars in Europe. He knew this would involve Great Britain. Some 40 years before, Spain had secretly ceded a huge amount of land called the Louisiana Territory to France. Napoleon recognized that the British had an unmatchable powerful navy. He saw the need to raise funds for the war in Europe. He also saw that the City of New Orleans was indefensible against England. Rather than have the British capture New Orleans, he believed the Americans would be able to do so for geo-political reasons. He also realized the huge expanse of the Louisiana Territory would be a deal hard for US President Jefferson to resist. Napoleon also understood that the US would not wish to have the British control the valuable city of New Orleans. A deal was struck for $10 million. Congress approved it. The US doubled in size and Britain had no chance to capture New Orleans. This edit is fair
