Many believe the greatest single accomplishment of Thomas Jefferson's presidency was the purchase of 830,000 square miles of land from France in 1803. The Louisiana Purchase more than doubled the territory of the United States. By a treaty negotiated by Robert Livingston, James Monroe, and France's Ministry of the Treasury François Barbé-Marbois, the United States purchased Louisiana for $15,000,000. Eventually, fifteen states were wholly or partially carved from land included in the Louisiana Purchase.
