Book Description
The Louisiana Purchase stands out in American history for a number of reasons. It was the largest acquisition of land in United States' history. It was also the first time a president obtained new territory by purchase. But, perhaps most important, it fueled the American drive for westward expansion-a powerful force in U.S. culture and politics for the remainder of the 19th century. This authoritative title presents that history in depth, contextualizing the Louisiana Purchase and examining how it affected the early development of America, bringing this episode of American history to life for a new generation of readers.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of North America, Vol. 8: The Louisiana Purchase and the Westward Movement A few of these arguments had root in the controversies that had attended the creation of the States Of Tennessee and Kentucky and in the organization of the Northwest Territory, but the case of Louisiana differed radically from that of either the trans-alleghany States or the Northwest. In the former instance, we find the question one of the acquisition of foreign territory bearing a foreign population with alien manners, laws, and language; the other was a matter of the organization Of territory that belonged to the original States and was inhabited for the most part by men from those States. But the argument Of expediency was, after all, the deciding one; and for a few millions of dollars, less, in fact, than the productions for one year of the least of the States formed from it, was the Louisiana Purchase made a part of the possessions of the United States.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of North America, Vol. 8: The Louisiana Purchase and the Westward Movement The United States owes to France two of her most precious possessions: the first, independence; the second, the Louisiana Purchase. The winning of the first has in The History of North America been chronicled in the volume entitled The Revolution; the gaining of the second is set forth in the volume now before us. The imperial expanse of fertile country stretching from the Mississippi Delta to the borders of what is now Canada was a domain of which Spain and France, by whom it had been held, knew little. True, their trappers and traders had stations throughout it, and expeditions now and again penetrated its fastnesses, even in the early days before the Western settlements of the United States had waxed lusty and prosperous and burdened the Father of Waters with their productions in transit to the town of New Orleans. But the Spanish, after the French, and the French again after the Spanish, though in truth the later French occupation was short, made little avail of the riches at their hands; in fact, they grasped only and seemingly cared more to prevent others from profiting by the country to the westward of the Mississippi than to use it themselves. But this policy, this opposition to American development, was destined to operate to the advantage of the new republic; for it forced it to take action destined to put an end to the intolerable situation by which the entire portion of its territory west of the Alleghanies was compelled to forego the free use of its natural outlet to the worlds commerce, - the Mississippi River.
