The Lousiana Purchase was the largest and cheapest purchase of land our country has made. We purchase over 15 million dollars worth of land for about three cents an acre. We created a whole new side of our nation by making a small purchse. It was bought from France after the lost a war. France needed the money and sold us all of the land for cheap. When we first recieved the land we did not know how much land we really purchased.
I think that this purchase was a huge step for our country. We were still struggling as a nation to organize ourselves and to get along financially. The Lousiana purchase allowed us to expland our land, explore the area, and enlarge our nation. All of these were positive attributes that were added from a land purchase.

So how much did we purchase, and please correct the expand, you spelled it expland.
Thanks,

PS
if expland isn't bold it was meant to be, I'm just now testing that kind of stuff :)
