Answer 1

Louisiana Territory was a historic, organized territory of the United States from July 4, 1805 until December 11, 1812. It consisted of the portion of the Louisiana Purchase that was not partitioned off into Orleans Territory, which later became the state of Louisiana. The Louisiana Territory was everything in the Purchase north of the 33rd parallel (the southern boundary of the present state of Arkansas). The seat of government was St. Louis.
