- In return for $15 million, or approximately $18 per square mile, the United States nominally acquired a total of 828,000 sq mi of land now in the Central United States.
- However, France only controlled a small fraction of this area, most of which was inhabited by Native Americans, effectively, for the majority of the area, the United States bought the preemptive right to obtain Indian lands by treaty or by conquest, to the exclusion of other colonial powers.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Louisiana Purchase article was read about 740,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 88: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
