The correct answer is False

Explanation

The year 1803 the North Americans made the best business of all their history when buying the Territory of Louisiana to Napoleon. They paid 15'000,000 dollars (about 220 million today) for a territory larger than Mexico, which has in the middle one of the world's largest rivers, the Mississippi, which is fed by a basin of more than 3 million km2 and it is a practically flat terrain. This territory covers about 23% of the current area of the United States, which includes the current states of Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota south of the Mississippi River, much of North Dakota, almost all of South Dakota, northeastern New Mexico, northern Texas, a section of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado east of the continental divide, and Louisiana on both sides of the Mississippi River, including the city of New Orleans. Also, the purchase included parts of the current provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, in present-day Canada. Additionally, it represents an advantage for the United States as it is a gigantic place with enormous potential for agriculture and livestock, comparable in quality to the black lands of Ukraine, but about 5 times larger. So, the correct answer is False.
