The US purchased the Louisiana purchase from the king of France. At first, the president only wanted the port of New Orleans so America could ship goods faster, but the king offered ALL of Lousisiana for a smaller price! This great deal doubled the size of the united states and gave the president the idea of starting the Louis and Clark Expodision.

What state was Purchase in 1819 and why was it important?
We have no idea. The only US state that became a state in 1819 was Alabama. It wasn't "purchased", it was part of the Mississippi Territory, which had been claimed by the state of Georgia before being donated to the US government. The state most commonly associated with the word "Purchase" is Louisiana, but a) the Louisiana Purchase occurred in 1804, and b) the state of Louisiana was formed from part of the area involved in the Louisiana Purchase in 1812, both well before 1819, so it seems unlikely that's what you're referring to.
