Not much since your rulers were really hard up for the money having wasted your country's funds almost to the point of bankruptcy (Louisiana Purchase).

Oooh-la-la, I remember the "Louisiana Purchase" from my middle-school education. The US acquired approx. 529,911,681 acres (2,144,476 km2) from France in 1803, for $15 million or 60 million francs in total. Today's equivalent would be approx. $390 billion.
The French territory included more land than the current U.S. state of Louisiana, and included parts or all of present-day Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota west of the Mississippi River, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, northern Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, the portions of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Rocky Mountains, the portions of southern Manitoba, southern Saskatchewan and southern Alberta that drain into the Missouri River, and Louisiana on both sides of the Mississippi River including the city of New Orleans.
The land included in the Purchase comprises 22.3% of the territory of the modern United States.
Merci, monsieur!

I assume you are referring to the Louisiana Purchase, which was the acquisition by the United States of more than 529,911,681 acres (827,987 mi² or 2,144,476 km2) of territory from France in 1803, at the cost of about 3¢ per acre (7¢ per hectare); $15 million or 60 million francs in total. (If adjusted for the relative share of GDP, this amount would equal approximately $390 billion in 2003 [1], or about $1800 per hectare.)

you rather responded the question your self. Or area of it besides. There could be no tax strengthen. That way parasitic politicians could no longer supply themselves a develop everytime they placed their palms contained in the cookie jar. greater money???? That greater money actually devalues the genuine fee of the greenback. It dilutes the economic gadget, and the money isn't properly surely worth the paper that's revealed on. that's all artifically inflated and is in charge for lots of the present inflation the rustic and the international has experienced. think of sometime, you would be tracked and drugged by the very government that takes your taxes on the instant. you would be forced to paintings loopy hours and given no freedom. you will eat what they prepare and take (in all probability at gunpoint) a cocktail of medicine which will shop you working for days devoid of any sleep and then led decrease back on your cellular. The be conscious production could have a sparkling definintion. you would be surrounded by risk-free practices/military personnal wielding great state-of-the-paintings, state-of-the-paintings weapons, waiting to kill all and sundry who makes a decision to insurrection. And while they ultimately come to a decision you're no longer any further of any use to their society, you would be placed to sleep like a cat or dogs. All this to benefit the extremely elite in u.s.. in case you look heavily, slowly the variations are being made to make this nightmare come real.

The Louisana Purchase.
Look it up in Google or Yahoo, or Any USA history book.
It was a bargain... and general Lafayette helped the revolutionary terrorists ( we willingly sell arms to them still} against their old enemy the British, who had a German king disinterested in the colony.
Some living in Louisiana still speak with a ' cajun' form of french . Not too clearly understood.
That is not cannuck , the french canadian french that prince Charles was taught when their, Brit. gov.thought, he should be future king.,

Not even half as much as you have charged us for snails par boiled and then smothered in a garlic butter sauce, and certainly not as much as our government has spent in the vain attempt to maintain a useful relationship with your government, especially after the terrorist attacks of sept. 11, 2001. And don't even get me started on the pulpy unfiltered late season grapes harvest wine you charge exorbitant prices for when the flavor and bouquet is no better than an Argentinian cabernet sauvignon.

The Louisiana Purchase was for $15 million or 60 million francs in total.
On behalf of the US, let me say thanks for a great deal. Personally, I'd rather have French women and wine...love your language.

I do believe the Louisiana Purchase was a mere 13 dollars.

12,000 dollars is what my parents paid, but before that, people just homesteaded, which means they made a claim on their property for free
