There were five major things that caused the U.S. Overseas Expansion:
1) New Manifest Destiny: the mission to reach from coast to coast
2) Commercial Expansion: the need for new interactions in international markets
3) Naval Power: this was still during the time when naval power was one of the greatest military powers a nation had. Having more of it, ensured your success in conflicts and influence
4) Darwinism/“White Man’s Burden”: Christian/Catholic missionaries’ missions to “uncivilized” nation, such as the ones in Africa
5) Closing of the Frontier: Americans wanted to have the “frontier”, or unmapped regions mapped and explored
All of these resulted in the spread of democracy, American influence and the realization that America was a big player at the table of nations.
Answer: B. Production of cotton
Explanation: The invention of the cotton gin in this 1793 tied the economy of the Southern states to cotton production. By the 1860, production of cotton by the South represented more than half of all American exports. This led to the rapid expansion southwest as Southerners needed more land to cultivate cotton, as it had proved to be the crop of choice.
This allowed the American South to expand its wealth and population and became an integral part of an increasingly global economy. Also, because of its trading and export potentials, merchants from the Northeast, Europe, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean flocked to Southern cities, setting up trading firms, warehouses, ports, and markets.
