Detailed explanation-1: -The Louisiana Purchase (French: Vente de la Louisiane, lit. ‘Sale of Louisiana’) was the acquisition of the territory of Louisiana by the United States from the French First Republic in 1803.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Louisiana Purchase has been described as the greatest real estate deal in history. In 1803 the United States paid France $15 million for the Louisiana Territory–828, 000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River.
Detailed explanation-3: -Also, the new land was full of natural resources. These resources included water, animals, timber, minerals and, of course, the land itself. Eventually, all or some of 15 states were formed from the Louisiana Purchase. America took a big step forward in seeing President Jefferson’s dream come true.
