I. Manifest Destiny
A. How did America expand its borders in the 1800's?
1. Louisiana - Purchased in 1803 by President Thomas Jefferson for 15 million dollars.2. Florida - Ceded (given) to the United States as a part of the Adams - Onis Treaty in 1819. A US army led by Andrew Jackson had been perched on the border of Florida. Realizing they would be unable to keep the territory (nor did they want it because of the harsh climate) the Spaniards gave it up.
3. Texas - American settlers had come to Texas and built planations and farms. The settlers, led by Stephan Austin, asked Mexico for admission into the Mexican nation as an independent state. The Mexicans refused and war broke out highlighted by Santa Anna's attack on the Alamo. Texas declared herself independent in 1836 and its first President was Sam Houston. In 1845 Texas was annexed by the United States and became the 28th state.
4. Oregon - Questions over the Oregon territories had long existed. Russia, France, Britin and the United States all had claims in the area. Russia and France gave upo their claims and then England negotiated a treaty with the United States to draw the boundry at 49 north latitude, where it remains today.
5. Mexican Cession - Tensions between America nad her southern neigbor had been high for some time and had only increased as a result of America's annexation of Texas. President Polk, with his eye on luring Texas into war, sent US troops over the border across the Rio Grande river, a disputed border. When Mexico attacked the US Polk responded by claiming that the Mexicans had perpetrated an unprovoked attack. Congress declared war and the US demolished the weaker Mexican army. As a result of the treaty that ended the war the US gained the Mexcian Cession and paid Mexico 15 million dollars for their loss.
6. Gadsden Purchase - The US realizing the importance of this territory for railroad building paid Mexico 10 million dollars. Considering the price paid for Louisiana and the Cession lands this was a large amount. We paid this much due to a feeling of guilt over our participation in the Mexican American War.

B. How did the US justify this territorial expansion?
1. Simply put, Manifest Destiny. The term Manifest Desitny was first coined by Congressman Robert Winthrop and then made popular by newspaper publisher John O'Sullivan in the 1840's. It meant that it was Gods will that Americans expand from sea to sea.Americans claimed they were bringing God, technology and civilization to the the west. Of course they also brought death, disease and war but that was never publicized.
I found this song on the web which may give you one perspective on Manifest Destiny:

C. What problems were caused by westward expansion?
1. As you should know by now the main issue was the extension of slavery into the territories. The South was for it and the North against it. Various controversies surfaced but the passage of the Missouri Compromise was thought to have solved them. The nation was wrong.
