[ Louisiana Purchase Territory compared to current USA = Wikipedia image C3 license (William Morris) ]
On this date, April 30, in 1803, the United States doubled in size. Founding Fathers, Robert Livingston and James Monroe, signed a treaty (contract) and paid France $15 million dollars for lots of land in the continental United States, west of the Mississippi. They called this deal the Louisiana Purchase. Soon after this, President Thomas Jefferson assigned Captain Meriwether Lewis as Commander of the Corps of Discovery (also known as 'the Lewis & Clark Expedition') to go explore this new land America now owned.
