Identify two land acquisitions made by the United States between 1800 and 1860 that helped achieve manifest Destiny

History

Manifest Destiny is the idea that it was America's god-given right to expand/conquer land between the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. This policy shaped the Americana federal government for a significant amount of time during the 19th century.

One example of a land acquisition that represents Manifest Destiny is the Louisiana Purchase. This territory was bought from France and almost doubled the size of the US. This acquisition, made by Thomas Jefferson in 1803, was the beginning of the era of Manifest Destiny. Another example would be the Mexican Cession. This was a result of the US winning the Mexican-American War. This gave us states like California, Arizona, and New Mexico.

One positive result of Manifest Destiny was the opportunity for American citizens to move west in order to start a new life. Many Americans moved to the territories acquired during this time and set up successful farms. On the other hand, Manifest Destiny negatively impacted Native Americans, as the US government took large tracts of their land in order to achieve their goals.

Darya [45]

Answer:

The Schliefen Plan was a plan created by Schliefen which called for a blitzkrieg like attack to take over Paris, which would effectively defeat the Western Front, and then focus the Central Power's attention against Russia. However, the plan failed, and the war of the west became what is commonly known as the trench warfare today.

People used materials to make baskets,<br> rope, and papyrus (paper)
GalinKa [24]
Papyrus was a weed that grew wildly along the banks of the Nile River. It grew about 10 feet high. It was used to make everything!

The ancient Egyptians used papyrus to make paper, baskets, sandals, mats, rope, blankets, tables, chairs, mattresses, medicine, perfume, food, and clothes. Truly, papyrus was an important "gift of the Nile".

They even tried to make boats out of papyrus, but that did not work very well. Papyrus absorbs water. Boats made of papyrus would become waterlogged and sink.
