Question

was the Louisiana purchase an important milestone in untied states history?why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

The Louisiana Purchase included a huge amount of land in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains. If it had never happened, the USA may have never spread west to California. The Louisiana Purchase included Oklahoma, Montana, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and parts of a few other states. Without the Louisiana Purchase ever happening, cities like Oklahoma City, Denver, St. Louis, Kansas City, or Omaha may have not been such major urban areas. It was a very important milestone in United States history and for the expansion of our nation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Oh, absolutely.

Explanation:

The Lousiana Purchase brought 828,000 square miles of territory to the United States from France. It effectively doubled the landmass of the United States. American expansion into the new, western lands began immediately and led to the famous Lewis and Clark expedition.

In 1812, nine years after the purchase, Louisiana was admitted into the Union as the 18th state.
