If your pet could walk what would the After the American Revolution, the newly formed United States realized that it lacked room

to grow. The states created in the Declaration of Independence in 1776 were limited in size. As the population increased, more people were competing for the same amount of land. Consequently, land became more expensive, and overcrowding became an issue. The thirteen states were bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the territories of other nations. If the United States was going to have a future, it needed to increase its territory.
President Thomas Jefferson believed that for Americans to be virtuous and free, they needed to farm land. He wanted to expand westward to create more farmland. Jefferson also wanted to obtain the Port of New Orleans at the mouth of the Mississippi River so farmers could easily transport their goods. He facilitated the purchase of New Orleans and the rest of the French territory from France in 1803 for $15 million. This new land was called the Louisiana Territory and stretched partway across the continent. It was the first step in expanding the United States.



The purchase of the Louisiana Territory led to a pattern of westward expansion through payment, negotiations, and conflict. The United States purchased Florida from Spain with the Florida Purchase Treaty of 1821. Instead of paying Spain a set amount, the United States would pay the $5 million Americans claimed were owed to them by Spain. After Texas declared independence from Mexico, it was annexed by the United States and became an official state in 1845. Another land controversy occurred between Great Britain and the United States, as both countries claimed the Oregon region. The dispute was settled in the 1846 Oregon Treaty, which separated the countries by the line of the 49th parallel. Mexico refused to let the United States buy California and New Mexico, so the two countries eventually went to war. Because the Americans won the war, the United States was able to buy lands in the Southwest in 1848. The United States paid Mexico $10 million for an area of land in the Southwest in the 1853 Gadsden Purchase, stretching its borders from sea to sea.

1821
