The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 nearly doubled the size of the territory controlled by the US in North America. It represents 23% of the current total area of the US, and 27% of the area of the contiguous 48 states.
The USA grew much much larger with the Louisiana purchase because what you know of as the 'Plains states' were all part of that purchase.
Practically all the land that is part of the USA from Saint Louis through the Rockies was all purchased at that time.
