Which of the following was a consequence of the Louisiana Purchase?

Question

b. With more room for Americans to expand, Native Americans increasingly lost territory or were treated harshly

c. Because of the doubling of United States land, Americans were too spread out to govern effectively

d. Americans were angered at the cost of the purchase and refused to journey westward

Answer 1

The correct consequence of the Louisiana Purchase is:

b. With more room for Americans to expand, Native Americans increasingly lost territory or were treated harshly.

The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 significantly expanded the territory of the United States, which facilitated westward expansion. This often led to conflicts with Native American tribes, resulting in the loss of their lands and harsh treatment as Americans moved into these territories.
