The Louisiana Purchase, made in 1803, was a significant event in American history where the United States acquired over 827,000 square miles of territory from France, effectively doubling the size of the nation. This acquisition opened up vast lands for exploration, settlement, and economic development. The purchase had profound implications for Indigenous peoples, as it initiated years of westward expansion and conflict. This exploration of the Louisiana Purchase provides insights into the geopolitical landscape of early 19th-century America and its lasting effects.
