There were just as many disadvantages to The Louisiana Purchase as there were advantages. The Louisiana territory was a tract of land that covered over 800,000 square miles between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. It was first claimed by the French in 1682. The Mississippi River was the main way that the farmers transported their goods to New Orleans, where it was then shipped to other countries.
