The Louisiana Purchase was one of the greatest milestones in Westward Expansion. It Doubled the size of the United States, added 14 states to the Union, and greatly expanded the United States boundaries. Before the Louisiana Purchase the Boundaries fro the United States were not past the Appalachian Mountains.
