The correct answer is False

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1803 the government of the United States bought the territory of Louisiana or French Louisiana, this was a vast territory from the Rocky Mountains in the west to the Mississipi River. The territory of Louisiana belonged to France until 1803 when the Louisiana Purchase occurred, and France decided to renounce to this territory in exchange for fifteen million dollars. Additionally, after this, the territory was integrated, these include the territory of modern states such as Arkansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa, among others. Thus, it is false the U.S. purchased the Louisiana Territory in 1803 from Great Britain because this was purchased from France.
