Chicken is the most commonly eaten white meat. White meat or light meat refers to the lighter-colored meat of poultry, as contrasted with dark meat. In a more general sense, white meat may refer to any lighter-colored meat, as contrasted with red meats like beef and some types of game.
The Louisiana Purchase was one of the largest land deals in history. In 1803, the United States paid approximately $15 million dollars for France for over 800,000 square miles of land. This land deal was arguably the greatest achievement of Thomas Jefferson's presidency but also posed a major philosophical problem for Jefferson.
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.
