Answer:
The United States desired the West because the West coast would open up the United States to Asian markets. Eastern ports connected the U.S with Europe. The West meant we could expand our trading power globally.
The population was rapidly growing in the East, Americans were running out of room, they had to move West.
Economic hardships (panics and depressions) in the East pushed Americans to the West.
The West had abundant, inexpensive, and often free, land. This not only attracted eastern Americans, but poor, landless Europeans as well.
The British had their eyes on the West as well. Prior to the Annexation of Texas, Britain had established a friendly relationship with the Republic of Texas. They were interested in trading with Texas and keeping the U.S from expanding West. In order to limit British influence in America, the United States decided to Annex Texas in 1845.
The Spanish-American relations was affected by the yellow press because of the Spanish-American war - that is considered the first “media war”.
The Spanish-American war was fought in 1898 between the US and Spain. It started because of the explosion of USS Maine that was in Havana Harbor and the main issue of the war was Cuba independence.
When the USS Maine exploded “New York Journal” published a story blaming the Spanish for what occurred. The newspaper used eye-catching headlines, sensational stories with the feature of yellow.
This influenced the public’s opinion who demanded intervention and pushed the US to enter the conflict with Spain over Cuba.
<span>This above passage describes random sampling. Because the researchers pick six random states, then ten random zip codes (for a total of 60 zip codes), then 50 people from each zip code (for a total of 50*60 people), the process is completely random.
Although, I would probably make an alteration to include 3 states that favor one party, 3 states that favor another party, and 3 swing states for a survey like this (with everything still being random).</span>
