This can't be right. It may look like "North America", but it only ends up with THREE countries. Where are the other 21?

It was after the US discovered the transfer of that part of the country from Spain to France that the US tried to purchase , I think just the city of New Orleans but got suckered into buying the whole shebang up to nearly Canada. At least that's how I remember it from history. The US thought they got swindled because the only thing that could grow there was "grass". Of course, people didn't know that corn and wheat are grass.
