Louisiana Purchase, 1803. The Louisiana Purchase encompassed 530,000,000 acres of territory in North America that the United States purchased from France in 1803 for $15 million.
Not entirely. The Louisiana Purchase included a huge swath of land west of the Mississippi River -- the Louisiana Territory (French Le Louisiane) was nearly as large as the exâ¦isting United States, including all or part of 13 current US states. The intent of the Purchase was to acquire the port of New Orleans.
