History

Answer:

Explanation: The Americans wanted to expand westward because they realized that large amounts of gold lay in this territory, especially in Coloma, in a sawmill called Sutter's Mill. Eager for a change to better life chances, many emigrations were made to that place. The number of emigrants to California was so great that this phenomenon was called The Gold Rush.

The Americans were willing to go to war to secure the West because many of them had settled in Texas, which was part of Mexico, thus beginning the United States-Mexico War, between 1846 and 1848 where it was intended to do expansion by the Americans adopting the doctrine of Manifest Destiny.

Why did some Americans oppose NAFTA?
Usimov [2.4K]
HEYA!!!!!

Answer:

The reason SOME people think it's bad for America is because they take a narrow view at the bill. Yes, it's true some people were temporarily unemployerd due to outsourcing jobs overseas. But EVERYONE, including those people, now pay much, much less for goods that otherwise would've been more expensive. And with that extra money, they can spend more, save more, or generally have more discretionary spending-- which keeps the economy chugging along. That benefit of free trade far, far, far outweighs the job losses. And even those job loses are temporary. 

Hope it helps you....
