Explanation:

The motive behind the expansion into Texas and Oregon was the Manifest destiny. The Manifest Destiny introduced by the government for the territorial expansion in the West to the Pacific. The main goal was to spread its white American settlers in the westward region. Americans drove towards westward to get access to land across the entire North American continent.
