During the American Revolution, the land west of the Mississippi River was controlled by Spain, which expanded its territory in 1763. Spain's control included the crucial Mississippi River, leading to trade challenges for American settlers. The situation changed with the U.S. Louisiana Purchase in 1803, which substantially increased U.S. territory.
