The economy my dear fellow PCHS student (:

Answer 2

Answer:  The correct answer is :  Because the Americans expanded their borders to continue keeping the country in an upright position. They thought it was the nation with the most power, the strongest and that they could take the land they wanted. They believed that it was necessary to expand abroad to prevent the nation from being surpassed by someone else. The United States produced many industrial and agricultural goods that could not all be traded internally and expansion was necessary.
