The correct answer is Manifest Destiny<span>.

Manifest Destiny is the belief that it is the god given right for America to expand their power from "sea to shining sea." The sea to shining sea refers to the land between the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.

This term coined by John O' Sullivan helps to explain why America bought land from other countries (like France and Spain) and fought wars against other countries (like Mexico) during the 19th century. Overall, Manifest Destiny helped the US gain numerous states like Texas, Florida, Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, etc. </span>

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Abolitionists and pro-slavery settlers fought about whether Kansas would be a free or slave state

Explanation:

In the wake of the tensions and conflict between the slave states and free states, Kansas was one of the states that had it the worst because of internal conflicts. The population in the state was divided, so Kansas was on neither side, while having two large fractions pushing in certain direction. This has resulted in multiple organized groups to cause terror and violence, with lot of people ending up dead, all in order to gain support or advantage to move in certain direction. Even though the officials tried to resolve things with voting, there was always problems with the voting, and lot of scandals about fraud with it, so the settlers were solving this issue on the terrain.

faust18 [17]

The Spanish Requirement of 1513 (Requerimiento) was a declaration by the Spanish monarchy, written by the Council of Castile jurist Juan López de Palacios Rubios, of Castile's divinely ordained right to take possession of the territories of the New World and to subjugate, exploit and, when necessary, to fight the native inhabitants.

The Requerimiento (Spanish for "requirement" as in "demand") was read in Castilian<span>[citation needed]</span> to Native Americans to inform them of Spain’s rights to conquest. Those who subsequently resisted conquest were considered to harbor evil intentions.<span>[citation needed]</span> The Spaniards thus considered those who resisted as defying God’s plan, and so used Catholic theology to justify their conquest
