AP US History
Unit 3 – Conflict and American Independence, 1754–1800
Topic 3.10
How might American nationhood evolve differently if Louisiana Purchase never happened?
There would be fewer states in the Union today but with same national boundaries as they exist today .
California Gold Rush would've happened earlier than recorded historically speeding up westward expansion faster than it actually occurred in history .
Civil War may not have happened at all due to reduced tensions over slavery expansion caused by territorial additions from the purchase..
Expanding westward might take longer or even be prevented entirely altering national borders significantly from what they are today.
