Importance of additional land acquired through westward expansion

History

Pepsi [2]3 years ago
5 0
The westward expansion era in the United States was one of great importance, as it helped to create the shape of the United States today. One of the reasons acquiring land was important was because it would help to complete America's manifest destiny. Manifest destiny is a term that states that it was America's god- given right to control all land from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. This belief that it was supposed to be America's land caused them to buy land (like the Louisiana Purchase from the French and Florida from Spain) and even fight for it (Mexican-American War- results in US getting Arizona, California, Utah, etc.).

Besides completing America's manifest destiny, acquiring this land allowed the US to gain significant natural resources. A perfect example would be in California. After gaining California from Mexico, gold was found. This lead to the California Gold Rush of 1849. Finding this valuable commodity lead to a huge increase in the population of California and it gave the American economy a boost.

TiliK225 [7]

New York Times vs The United States was a legal case in which the Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the newspaper to publish classified Pentagon papers without the risk of being censored by the government. President Nixon, relying on executive authority, attempted to force The New York Times into not publishing the documents.

The court based its decision on the first amendment of the Constitution, which prevented the government to create laws that would censor the right of freedom of speech of the citizens.

What was the largest fear of statehood for California?
Alina [70]
The largest fear was the position on the slave issue. The pro and anti slavery advocates feared that the addition of California to the Union could cause a senate majority on the other side. The territory was left without a formal government after a debate within the senate and failed the amendments about the addition of California.
