Answer:
James K. Polk was a strong believer in the Manifest Destiny. He expanded the borders of the United States all the way west. In only one presidency, James K. Polk gained control of the Oregon territory, New Mexico, California, and Texas.

Answer: One major difference is that King's believes that slavery didn't play a role, while Burns' does. A historical event that could support King's is when Congress established the Freedmen's Bureau in 1865. This provided aid to African Americans in their transition from slavery to freedom. A historical event that could support Burns' is Dred Scott v. Sandford. The case in 1857 declared that slaves and blacks descended from slaves and were not American citizens and cannot sue, so this could have led to outrage and war.
