The statement that best explains how the idea of Manifest Destiny led to the Mexican-American War would be that "Mexico was a barrier to achieving what many believed was America’s destiny to expand to the Pacific," since Manifest Destiny held that the US was "destined" to expand all the way to the West Coast.

I believe the answer is: "Mexico was a barrier to achieving what many believed was America’s destiny to expand to the Pacific,

At that time, the government of Mexico refuse to sell their lands to united states due to the amount of oil reserve that they have in their territory. This become a hindrance for American government who at that time were willing to make huge investment to expand their territory, This lead to the Mexican american war that occurred for around 2 years.

What is the main reason the US Civil War started?

Stella [2.4K]

While many still debate the causes of the Civil War, author James McPherson said that, "The Civil War started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet become states. When Abraham Lincoln won the election in 1860 as the first Republican president on a platform pledging to keep slavery out of the territories, seven slave states in the deep South seceded and formed a new nation, the Confederate States of America. The incoming Lincoln administration and most of the Northern people refused to recognize the legitimacy of secession. They feared that it would discredit democracy and create a fatal precedent that would eventually fragment the no-longer United States into several small, squabbling countries."
