For America it added a vast expanse of land past the Mississippi river and though it cost $15,000,000 (I believe) the economic benefits were enourmous because now people could live there and so on.
Politically it effectively evicted the French from NA, and the Americans did not have to worry about Napoleon invading from Louisiana.
Thanks for your help, hope what I need is in there bye :)
