Growth of United States Territory
The original 13 states covered about 218 million acres. A 1783 peace with Britain expanded west to the Mississippi, north to the Great Lakes, and south to Georgia, totaling about 531 million acres. Louisiana Purchase in 1803 added 757 million, at ~2 cents per acre. Subsequent land gains included Florida 38 million, California and Southwest 334 million, Texas 61.8 million, Mexico 28 million, and Alaska 370 million, taking U S territory to over two billion acres by 1867.
