Answer 1

Hint: Before 1803, for many years, the Louisiana Territory had been the object of Old World interest. In the 17th and 18th centuries, discovery and dispersed settlements were provided. France manages the river and occupies much of the valley of the Mississippi.

Complete answer: During the Seven Years' War, the first significant disturbance of French influence over Louisiana occurred. France ceded Louisiana west of the Mississippi River to Spain in 1762 and transferred nearly all of its remaining North American possessions to Great Britain in 1763.
Purchase of Louisiana, the western half of the Mississippi River basin, acquired by the United States from France in 1803. It was the largest land deal in U.S. history. The purchase increased the size of the United States, significantly and strategically strengthened the government, provided a powerful impetus for westward expansion, and reinforced the federal Constitution's doctrine of implied powers. Several cultural and social impacts were triggered by the Louisiana Purchase, which would have significantly altered the growth of the United States. People were more interested in moving West after the purchase, than living in the crowded urban areas of the East. This sparked controversy among Native Americans.
Options A, B, C and E can be easily eliminated.
Therefore, option D is correct.

Note: Many politicians in the U.S. were against the Louisiana Purchase at the time. They felt that Thomas Jefferson was not entitled to make such a major land purchase and that we would soon be at war over the land with Spain.
