Under the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, United States purchased the huge area of Louisiana from France in 1803. France had decided to get rid of its acquisition because of a slave riot in Haiti and its impending war with Great Britain. United States hoped to achieve access to port of New Orleans for US trade and access to Mississippi river. The purchase was also made to ensure removal of French presence in the region.
