The Louisiana Purchase
The Louisiana Purchase was when Thomas Jefferson bought Louisiana from the French. Napoleon, the leader of France, needed money quick, so he sold the entire Louisiana territory to the U.S.A. The United State got full control of the Mississippi River and that created more jobs and it was easier to transport products. The U.S. also doubled in size. -
