The United States believed in Manifest Destiny, which is the term used to describe how the country was destined to stretch from "sea to shining sea", or the Atlantic to Pacific. The US gained western territory by purchasing it (like the Louisiana Purchase), gaining it after war (like the Mexican Cession), or by creating an agreement with a country (like they did with Britain, thus gaining the Oregon Territory).
