∙ 11y agothe French wanted more land in America because they needed more fur for the fur trade. France traveled to quebec, found the great lakes, and decided there was more fur up north. france was indeed very successful in the fur trade. America purchased all of this land in the Louisiana purchase because it was getting crowded after juan ponce de leon founded Florida and called it for spain. now, we have 51 states in America and are proud to be one of the most powerful countries in America. I recently learned this in social studies, so I saw this question pop up and thought it would jog my memory. :)
