In 1844, James K. Polk of Tennessee was elected president on a platform of westward expansion. He faced off with the British over control of the Oregon Territory and oversaw a successful war with Mexico, 1846–1848. The Mexican War and settling the Oregon question meant that the United States now stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Western expansion soon took a major leap forward with the California Gold Rush, as thousands from the eastern states, as well as from foreign nations, headed for the territories of California and Nevada, hoping to strike it rich.

Explanation:
Lee Harvey Oswald, a soon-to-be assassin, father of 2 children, and a very depressed human being, after hearing of John F. Kennedy's arrival in Dallas to try and win over the state's vote in the 1964 election, brought home a rifle one day and stashed it in his wife's best friend's garage. His wife took one look at the gun and ordered him to leave. Oswald did, but devised a plan to get back into the garage and take back his weapon. After doing so, he planned the rest of his assassination attempt. Then, on November 22, 1963, Oswald took his place in a 6th story window of the Texas School Book Depository. Around 12:30 pm, Oswald fired 4 shots over Dealey Plaza. The motorcade that Kennedy was fatally wounded in raced to Parkland Hospital where Kennedy was pronounced dead at 1:00 pm. Oswald fled the Book Depository and ran all around Dallas trying to avoid suspicion. He was apprehended by police at a movie theater at 1:40 pm. On November 24th, the assassin was assassinated by Jack Ruby as he was being transferred to a county jail. He was rushed to Parkland Hospital, but for the respect of Kennedy, was not given the same hospital room. Oswald could not survive due to massive amounts of blood loss and was pronounced dead at 1:07 pm. He is now buried at Shannon Rose Hill Memorial Park, in Fort Worth, Texas.
