We wanted New Orleans, and those cheese eating surrender monkeys would have handed it over to us when (not if) we attempted to take it by force - but they probably would not have given us the rest of the territory. Who knows for sure how that would have affected us later as far as allegiences, but I doubt we'd have beaten Germany under a confederacy with fewer resources...

Regardless, the purchase was unconstitutional so it simply does not exist right? Just like immigration laws.
