The land acquired by the United States in the Louisiana Purchase included the current state of Louisiana. In purchasing France's territories west of the Mississippi, Jefferson took a risk by extending the power of the federal government and testing the limits of the U.S. Constitution.
The Louisiana Purchase is considered the greatest real estate deal in history. The United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France at a price of $15 million, or approximately four cents an acre.
