Thomas Jefferson wanted to buy the Louisiana Purchase for several reasons. First, it would double the size of the United States. From this deal, the US would gain roughly 828,000,000 square miles of territory from the French. Another reason why Jefferson wanted to buy this territory was because it would help to get rid of European influence in America.
