How did America purchase Louisiana?

Answer 1

The United States bought the Mississippi River Valley, known as Le Louisiane, from France in 1803, in the Louisiana Purchase.

President Thomas Jefferson's representatives (Robert Livingston and James Monroe) signed the treaty on April 30, 1803. On July 4, 1803, Jefferson announced the treaty, and it was ratified by the Senate on October 20. New Orleans was transferred to the US on December 20, 1803, and the remainder of the territory on March 1, 1804 at St. Louis.

Although of dubious legality on several points, the Purchase codified American claims in North America, and set the stage for further westward expansion.
Lower Louisiana was transferred to US control on Dec 20th, 1803. The remainder (Upper Louisians) was handed over three months later.
