Question

Which American President oversaw the Louisiana Purchase?

Answer 1

Answer:

President Thomas Jefferson announced the signing of the Louisiana Purchase Treaty on July 4th, 1803, though the actual signing of the treaty occurred on April 30th of that same year. The United States paid $15 million for the land, which covered 828,000 square miles and stretched from the Mississippi River in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west, and from the Gulf of Mexico in the south all the way to Canada in the north. President Jefferson then dispatched the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore and map the territory.
