Answer:

Answer Below:

While Andrew Jackson was an expansionist and his Indian Removal Act was incredibly influential in fulfilling the Manifest Destiny, it was his protege, Democratic president James K. Polk, who built his campaign around this idea of Manifest Destiny. Not only was Polk concerned over acquiring the Oregon territory (his camapaign slogan "54'40 or fight" made it clear that he was a proponent of Manifest Destiny), but he was also crucial in acquiring Texas, igniting an easily-won war with Mexico that gave the United States not only Texas with their preferred borders, but also much more territory in the Southwest, including Arizona and California. By 1849, around the same time as Polk's death, the Manifest Destiny was near complete and the United States of America controlled land from sea to shining sea.

Why did both sides embrace trench warfare as a strategy to win the war?
DiKsa [7]
Because you could just sit in your trench and wait for the opponent to attack, at which point you could shoot him, throw explosive devices, or even use chemical weapons that weren't banned then.

How did slavery conflict (go against) the principles of the Declaration of Independence?
Aliun [14]

According to the Declaration of Independence, every human being living in the United States has the right to be free and decide its own ways in life, and than on the other hand we have the slavery, where people were enslaved, were either slaves for all of their lives or occasionally they were able to buy out their freedom, and they did not decided for their own lives but their owners. These two are the two total contrasting opposites that occurred in the American society, and they show how it is possible that from one negative extreme, the country can be reformed and functioning in another positive extreme.
