The addition of what territory more than doubled the size of the US?

alot of people would argue and say that it was the Louisiana Purchase, but it was actually the Mexican Cession. Addition: This is the problem when people randomly answer questions. The Mexican Cession was just over half a million square millions. The Louisiana Purchase was over 800,000 square miles. Maybe the original person who wrote this was thinking square km since the Mexican Cession is larger if one places it in KM and the Louisiana Purchase in square miles. However, if you convert one, you have to convert the other and that means the latter would still be larger.


What country did the US buy land from in the Gadsden Purchase?

MexicoThe Gadsden Purchase is a region of present-day southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico purchased by the U.S. from Mexico on December 30, 1853, the last of such large territorial acquisitions in the mainland United States. The influence of the railroad industry sought expansion to the pacific coast through the recently acquired territories of the Mexican Cession. The land was too mountainous for the railroad project so it was imperative that the U.S. territory be expanded further south to allow for a direct route.
