Answer: Annexation, war, expansion, shopping.
Explanation:
These are the essential elements of United States expansion. For this purpose, the United States annexed Texas. In 1803 the united states purchased from Lusiana from the French. In 1819, Spain thus surrendered the United States to Florida, and later, on the western borders of the continental United States, New Spain was replaced by independent Mexico. The famine for the new land was the cause of increasing conflict with Native American tribes, as well as the violent expulsion of Native Americans to areas west of the Mississippi River in 1830. Part of the American colonists also began to settle in the area under simple Mexican rule, including the city of present-day Texas.
In 1836, the settlers there started an insurgency against Mexico, and after a brief war, declared the independent Republic of Texas. In the case of Mexico, the accession of Texas to the United States led to the American-Mexican War (1846-1847). US forces defeated Mexico and forced it to hand over 42% of its territory, including California, to the Guadelupe Hidalgo Peace Treaty. On October 18, 1867, America bought Alaska from Russia and thus occupied this part of the country.

Think about that expression -- crossroads of culture. The early West was something of a plethora of human beings, with people of all breeds and flavors a) travelling, such as the Mormon (Latter-day Saint) pioneers, b) going for gold (Gold Rush), c) running a business, etc. Another factor to consider is that the pioneers (the Mormons) had their numbers bolstered by people from England, Ireland, Scotland, throughout the US and other places, in consequence of missionary efforts by the Latter-Day Saint Church, and in response to the call of their prophet to "gather to Zion." With that amalgamation of people it's not hard to see why, at least in the early settlements, it's called a "crossroads of culture," due to the hundreds of types of variety present. Of course, other immigrants and families moved to the west other than the Mormons. I don't mean to imply the Mormons were alone in their endeavor.
