Product Details:

The Louisiana Purchase, a monumental event in American history, occurred in 1803 when the United States, under the leadership of President Thomas Jefferson, acquired a vast territory from France. The purchase encompassed approximately 828,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River, doubling the size of the young nation. Negotiated by James Monroe and Robert Livingston, the acquisition secured New Orleans and opened crucial access to the Mississippi River for American trade. The cost of the entire territory was $15 million, or roughly four cents per acre, making it one of the most economically advantageous land deals in history. The Louisiana Purchase not only expanded the United States' territorial holdings but also paved the way for westward expansion, influencing the course of American development and shaping the nation's identity for generations to come.
