The correct answer is "The territory more than doubled."

Indeed, the original territory of the 13 American colonies extended from the east coast to the Mississippi at the west end of it. Under Thomas Jefferson's Administration, the Louisiana Purchase doubled it. Finally, under the Presidency of James Madison, West Florida was added to the US as the president had the army seize it when it declared independence from Spain.
