The U.S. quickly expanded its borders in 1803 primarily due to the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the nation by acquiring territory from France for $15 million. This acquisition was motivated by the desire for land to support agricultural growth and to secure control over vital trade routes, particularly the Mississippi River. Additionally, the expansion aligned with the ideology of Manifest Destiny, the belief that the U.S. was destined to expand across the continent. The purchase facilitated westward exploration and settlement, significantly shaping the nation's future.
