Watch Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery, Season 1 | Prime Video.webm

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

America really wanted to expand to spread freedom and was committed to that goal, but that commitment encompassed the freedom of Americans alone, as America became involved with imperialist and oppressive concepts towards other peoples during its expansion.

The Americans based themselves on the idea that it was a divine obligation for them to dominate new lands, however, this domination was done without any regard for the people who already inhabited those lands, which caused the American government to invade, exploit and limit the freedom. These are factors that the Americans criticized in their territory, but used in their imperialist campaigns, becoming as tyrannical as the British system that got rid of.
