The Louisiana Purchase was an 1803 acquisition of ~828,000 square miles of French territory by the U.S. The other options are incorrect: it was not a slave purchase, did not ban slave trade in the region, and was far larger than just New Orleans. By acquiring the territory, the U.S. prevented France from re-establishing a major colonial power in North America.
