Answer: Louisiana Purchase

Explanation: A better deal was the Louisiana Purchase since it meant access to the port of New Orleans and especially the Pacific Ocean and therefore an increase in the American territory, in addition to this purchase, control over the Mississippi River navigation could be maintained, which was of great importance for the trade routes of the Americans to their territory. This purchase proved to be the most profitable in the history of the United States.
