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.

The Louisiana Territory was an area of 828,000 square miles of land that stretched from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains. It was owned by France.

Napoleon Bonaparte wanted to make France the greatest global empire of the world. He wanted to use Louisiana as a trade center for the island of Hispaniola where Haitians lived.
