The purchase of Lousiana in 1805 was the acquisition of a vast extension of territory west from the Mississipi River made by the United States to the country of France. This purchase was considered a strategic at the time because the United Suspected that the British might end up trying to occupy that territory to retake the colonies. With this purchase, this maintained the good terms between the United States and France as well as preventing further British intervention in the continent.
