In 1803 Thomas Jefferson acted upon Napoleon's offer to sell the Louisiana territory. At the time, Louisiana was a vast French territory considerably larger than the present-day state of Louisiana. Napoleon, needing money to fund the aptly-named Napoleonic Wars, sold the area to the United States, under President Thomas Jefferson. Louisiana was formally turned over to the U.S. on December 20, 1803.
