Answer 1

A) It reduced the spread of slavery.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Louisiana purchase led to a growth in the territory of the U.S, almost doubling the size of the country. The purchase reduced the spread of slavery since it banned slavery in the area.

B cannot be the correct answer because the purchase strengthened the U.S. but didn't help prevent the Civil war.
