USA betalte 50 millioner franc (11 250 000 USD) og en eftergivelse af gæld til en værdi af 18 millioner franc (3 750 000 USD) for i alt 68 millioner franc (15 000 000 USD, eller ca. 250 millioner USD i 2016-dollar). Louisiana-territoriet omfattede land fra femten nuværende amerikanske stater og to canadiske provinser. Territoriet indeholdt land, der danner Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas og Nebraska; den del af Minnesota, der ligger vest for Mississippi-floden; en stor del af North Dakota; en stor del af South Dakota; den nordøstlige del af New Mexico; den nordlige del af Texas; området i Montana, Wyoming og Colorado øst for den kontinentale skillelinje; Louisiana vest for Mississippi-floden (plus New Orleans); og små dele af landet i de nuværende canadiske provinser Alberta og Saskatchewan. Dens ikke-indfødte befolkning var på omkring 60.000 indbyggere, hvoraf halvdelen var afrikanske slaver.

The Louisiana Purchase (French: Vente de la Louisiane "Sale of Louisiana") was the acquisition of the Louisiana territory (828,000 square miles or 2.14 million km2) by the United States from France in 1803. The U.S. paid fifty million francs ($11,250,000 USD) and a cancellation of debts worth eighteen million francs ($3,750,000 USD) for a total of sixty-eight million francs ($15,000,000 USD, or around $250 million in 2016 dollars). The Louisiana territory included land from fifteen present U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. The territory contained land that forms Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska; the portion of Minnesota west of the Mississippi River; a large portion of North Dakota; a large portion of South Dakota; the northeastern section of New Mexico; the northern portion of Texas; the area of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental Divide; Louisiana west of the Mississippi River (plus New Orleans); and small portions of land within the present Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
