Best Answer

The Louisiana Purchase and the two Missouri compromises are quite different in the most radical sense of the word "different".

The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 was a large amount of territory that France had claimed as their own in the colonial days of North America. As Napoleon of France needed funds for his European wars, he offered this immense tract of land for sale to the US. Thomas Jefferson was the US President at the time, and all parties concerned this was a good deal. So the purchase vastly increased US territory without a conflict to do so.

The Missouri Compromises of 1820 & 1850 were Congressional acts proposed to keep the number of slave holding States even with the States that had abolished slavery.
