History

forsale [732]3 years ago
8 0

One of the questions that became obvious during the Civil War was that of the allegiance of the "border states." The border states were those found in the are between the North and the South. These generally had close cultural attachments to the South, but were not as interested in joining the Confederacy.

Lincoln knew that such states were very important to the war, and he faced Confederate attempts to seize the border states skillfully. Lincoln approached the situation with what he called a "delicate" approach. He focused on maintaining the support of the local population. He promoted pro-Union news on the media. He also provided weapons and supplies in order to arm pro-Union, local militias. In Missouri, Lincoln was eventually forced to seize government buildings in the state capital, forcing officials to flee. All of these actions allowed Lincoln to ensure that the border states remained in the Union.

Explain what is meant by manifest destiny and describe how belief in that idea was the main reason that the u.s going to mexico
kirill115 [55]

In the 1840s, the U.S was struck with the idea of <em>manifest destiny</em>. An idea that America should control North America from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Mexico had the legal right to Texas thus dominated California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Two territories stood in America's way of accomplishing the manifest destiny idea; first, the Oregon Territory that was occupied by both Great Britain and the United States and the Western and Southwestern areas owned by Mexico.   The differences between the United States and Mexico over the border of Texas led to the Mexican American War that resulted in American gaining ownership of Arizona, California,  New Mexico, and Texas. The ownership of these territories fulfilled the '<em>Manifest Destiny' </em>of the U.S stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Manifest Destiny.
