Answer:

While the public's fear of foreign involvements in continental North America may have concurred with Polk's agenda, the war he fought against Mexico that began in May 1846 and concluded in February 1848 sparked widespread criticism throughout political, journalistic, and literary circles in addition to strong support. Following the annexation of Texas, the Mexican government had severed diplomatic relations with the U.S. Polk subsequently sent an envoy, former Louisiana congressman John Slidell, to Mexico to try to resolve disputes over the Texas boundary and over damages that the Mexican government owed to U.S. citizens but could not pay. Polk instructed Slidell to make an offer that the U.S. would pay off Mexico's debt in order to acquire "Upper California and New Mexico" and would spend as much as $40 million to purchase the land.

Answer:

Native Americans were wiped out by European diseases such as Smallpox which was introduced by the Spanish explorers

Explanation:

In the case described above, the factors that played the biggest role in that change, that is, the French arriving a century later, and then found many of those villages deserted is as a result of "Native Americans were wiped out by European diseases such as Smallpox which was introduced by the Spanish explorers."

This is evident in the fact that the Spanish explorers did similar things to the inhabitants of places like Colombia, Peru, and Chile when they got to Southern America, thereby destroying the health and mortality of the native population.
