In 1803, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France. Jefferson asked Meriwether Lewis to explore the Northwest Territory. Jefferson told him to map out the area, gather natural resources, make contact with Natives (Befriend if possible), and find a waterway that went to the Pacific Ocean. Lewis recruited William Clark, to be an equal in command, and 40 men. The two leaders, both in the military (Lewis a Captain and Clark a Lieutenant) led these men through 800,000 square miles.…
During the 1800s, the United States more than tripled in size, covering the entire width of the continent. Throughout this period, they united states acquired land through several different methods including the Louisiana purchase of 1803, the war of 1812, the trail of tears, the Mexican cession, and the compromise of 1850. Each of which came with its own group of supporters and opponents with different reasons of why or why not. However, every debate ultimately led to the United States government’s actions, which has shaped the federal policies into what they are today. In 1803, Robert Livingston negotiated the Louisiana Purchase with authority from Thomas Jefferson. Because Thomas Jefferson was a democratic-republican, many federalists…
The Louisiana Purchase was bought from the French for $15 million dollars and the land area was 828,000 square miles (2,100,000 square km). That is 529,920,000 acres of land which comes out to be only 2.8 cents an acre. Converting that over to today’s prices it would be $1.58976 trillion dollars based on the average acre price of $3,000 and acre (2014). That’s a profit of $1.589745 trillion dollars.…

America’s acquisition of the West took huge strides during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. A major move in American history towards this innuendo was the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, under Thomas Jefferson. It was a land deal between the United States and France, in which the United States acquired more than 800,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River. Another major factor was the result of the Mexican-American War in 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe. It was a peace treaty that granted the United States with the territories of present day Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Arizona and most importantly California. These large acquisitions, combined with the ideas of Manifest Destiny and a growing population led to desire of Westward Expansion.…
One action taken by the United States government that was influenced by geographic factors was the Louisiana Purchase. There were many historical circumstances that resulted in the government's action. Louisiana was originally owned by the French until France sold it to the United States. Thomas Jefferson bought Louisiana in 1803. The influence of this geographic factor occurred because as the United States had expanded westward, navigation of the Mississippi River and access to the port of New Orleans had become critical to American commerce. The purchase of the Louisiana territory, including New Orleans, was for $15 million. The acquisition of approximately 827,000 square miles would double the size of the United States. This also gave the United States control of the Mississippi River. This had a lot of impacts on the United States. It increased western expansion which was included in the Manifest Destiny. The Manifest Destiny was a 19th-century doctrine that the United States had the right and duty to expand throughout the North American continent. But, this expansion did lead to conflicts over slavery because as more states were added, it was a controversy over which states should be slave or free states. This led to the Missouri Compromise which made sure that when new states were added to the country, there was an equal amount of slave and free states. The purchase also increased trade with other nations because there were more useful resources and access to rivers and fertile land helped create necessary items to trade.…
Many people believe that Thomas Jefferson's desire to acquire land exceeded executive powers established under the constitution. However, the United States is a growing nation, and I experienced this growth as secretary of state for Mr. Jefferosn. This chart represents the population of the United States from when the first census was preformed until the projected numbers for the 1820 census. As you can plainly see, the number of people in the United States is growing by 2-2.5 million people per decade. There is not enough land to support these numbers, but buying the Louisiana Purchase added plenty of space for our nation to continue growing. Population density will be at a low for the time being thanks to westward expansion. The Louisiana Purchase will also add to our agrarian economy, which is supported by Republicans.…
Jefferson believed in Continental Destiny which was our right to expand across the entire continent and move out west. Because of our thirst for expansion there were many wars that we got ourselves into that could’ve been avoided, but it also expanded our territory massively. The Louisiana Purchase is one of the best examples of how Americans wanted to grow and develop. In the early 1800s American farmers began to settle in the Mississippi River Valley. The territory at that time known as Louisiana was under the control of the French, whose leader was Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon wanted to take over the world. In order to feed his army he need land to grow crops and feed his slaves down in the Caribbean area. The slaves ended up having a revolution and gaining control of their land. Since Napoleon lost all his slaves, he decided that he didn’t need the Louisiana land anymore. Napoleon need money because of his war with England, he need to sell the land fast. When James Monroe went to France and offered about $7.5 Million for the Louisiana Port area, Napoleon immediately offered the whole land for $15 Mil. Jefferson jumped on the purchase, and in 1803 he doubled the size of the United States. Jefferson proceeded to then get Lewis and Clark against to explore this area. In Document C, we can see a map that shows the Route that Lewis and Clark took in 1804 - 1806 in order to explore the area.…
U.S. officials took formal possession of the Louisiana Territory. Lewis and Clark set out to explore the unknown region, discovering natural resources and information beneficial to the United States. The explorers’ reported of friendly Indians and abundant beaver pelts, which quickly attracted traders and trappers to the region. Their exploration also gave United States a claim to the Oregon Country by right of discovery and exploration. As we can see there were both good and bad effects on the United States from the Louisiana Purchase. But overall it helped shape our country and get us where we are…

The Louisiana Purchase brought much more than land to the U.S. With the presence of France now gone from the states, we rid ourselves of all European interactions within our home. This gave us a sense of freedom. No more influence meant control over us was no longer an issue. We could be free and make decisions on our own. Along with freedom, the purchase brought us economic opportunities. The vast territory was barren – free to be utilized to American benefit. Being able to explore new land and start a new life was appealing to Americans. Due to the fact that the hunt for land was an issue among all citizen, and knowledge that it was now seemingly unlimited, it sparked a nationalistic mindset. Knowing that opportunities were endless, Americans now had a chance to become independent.…
