At the time, the Lousiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States giving her power and resources(land, water, trade routes, minerals). It also gave America access to the ports in the area greatly aiding trade. The land had belonged to France before it was sold to America, so the purchase removed their presence in the area for the most part. It also fixed ties with France who had previously asked for aid in the French Revolution to which America said no; giving France money in the form of this purchase healed the connection slightly.
The Oregon territory officially belonged to Britain, but was mostly inhabited by Native Americans. It was a very large area that caused many disputes between the European colonists due to the fur-trade. America gained the land (segments of present-day Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, and Montana) in 1859 when Oregon officially became a state. Many Native Americans were also sent here as America continued to gain territory. The giving over of the land was used to settle the boundary dispute between America and Britain.
Technological developments continued to improve farming throughout the 1880’s and 1890’s. New machinery increased the amount of land ton the Great Plains that could be farmed on, as it made it easier to access water and grow crops. For example, wind pumps had improved significantly by the 1880’s.

For example, wind pumps had improved significantly by the 1880’s. Metal wind pumps had been developed that were able to reach water hundreds of metres underground, and they only needed oiling once a year. Other new machinery made ploughing the land and growing crops easier. For example, seed drills were developed which were able to automatically plant seeds at the correct depth.
These new machines made faming more efficient and boosted the economy as farmers began to purchase machines. By the 1890’s the Great Plains had become a productive and fertile area of farming. Most homesteaders prospered.
As a political philosopher, Jefferson favored the rights of states and a strictly limited federal government. This vision was contrary to that of John Marshall, who believed in the need for a strong and broad federal government, capable of resolving the conflicts of its people and guaranteeing the rights of its citizens.
