Let's see....
The states you mention were part of the following:
1. The Louisiana Purchase, made from Napolean from France in 803 for $15M (4 cents @ acre), beginning with the state of Louisiana, and following the Missouri River to Idaho's Bitterroot Mountains.
2. The Oregon Territories negotiations with Great Britain in the late 1840s that brought the states of Washington, Oregon, and part of Idaho, and established the boundary between the US and Canada at the 39th parallel.
To a lesser extent:
3. The Mexican American War 1846-1848 that handed over all of Mexico's Northern territory to the US (Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo).
4. Compromise of 1850, that ended territorial disputes with Texas by awarding the slave states $10M for Texas in exchange for giving up any claim to the New Mexico Territory. No biggie, of course because the free states were given California, with all of its newly discovered gold, discovered in 1848.
That sum it up for you?

These areas had nothing to do with the Louisiana purchase. They were considered open territory and not worth anything, the U.S. opened the land to settlers and sent out Army units to protect the settlers from the Indians that tried to stop them.
