Answer 2

The Louisiana Purchase is a bonanza for the fledgling United States. Formerly owned by France, it was sold to the United States for sixty-eight million francs ($15,000,000 USD, or around $250 million in 2016 dollars). The French needed money to finance wars in Europe, so they were eager to sell the undeveloped Louisiana territory. The purchase doubled the size of the United States, so the correct answer is B.
