This Louisiana purchase pros and cons list outline the advantages and disadvantages of the Louisiana Purchase. The Louisiana Purchase was a "land deal" struck in December 1803 between France and the United States. France sold America 828,000 miles of land along the west bank of the Mississippi River for $15 million (approximately 4 cents per acre). Because of how drastically it changed the United States, it is regarded as Thomas Jefferson's greatest achievement. The purchase greatly expanded America and brought with it numerous other benefits. Although it was undeniably beneficial to the United States, even Jefferson had reservations about the purchase.
