Why was the Louisiana territory purchased?
Jefferson needed the New Orleans port for the people of the western frontier to transfer their products down the Mississippi River. Originally he offered to buy just New Orleans, but Napoleon offered all of the Louisiana Territory (in part to frustrate the designs of the British, who had taken Canada from France). The 1803 Louisiana Purchase nearly doubled the size of the US, and opened the way for westward expansion.
How did Louisiana became a state?

French control of Louisiana upset Jefferson because he feared France would do WHAT?
Jefferson feared that Napoleon (the new leader of France after their revolution) would try to start an empire in Louisiana and take over the United States and also the rest of the world. Another reason is Napoleon had planned to close the port of New Orleans to American shipping. Spain secretly made a bribe with Napoleon to take Louisiana territory if France would leave the Spainiards alone and not attack them and take over their territory. Napolean made the deal, but did NOT plan to keep his end of it.
