The Louisiana Purchase buffer zone served two primary purposes: it acted as a territorial buffer between the United States and foreign powers, particularly Spain and later Mexico, thereby enhancing national security.

This area allowed for the exploration and eventual expansion of U.S. territory, contributing to Manifest Destiny.

The War of 1812, not the War of 1818, was primarily caused by maritime disputes between the United States and Great Britain, including the impressment of American sailors into the British Navy and restrictions on American trade. Tensions also arose from British support for Native American resistance against American expansion in the Northwest Territory. Additionally, the desire for territorial expansion and nationalism among Americans contributed to the conflict. The war ultimately ended in 1815, solidifying U.S. sovereignty and fostering a sense of national identity.

This drive for expansion was often framed in terms of manifest destiny and the belief in American superiority.

During the 19th century, the main issue of territorial expansion was slavery. Northerners didn't want slavery to extend into the western regions, while the south did. It was basically the issue of Missouri (Missouri Compromise) all over again, but with soooooo much more territory to deal with. This growing sectionalism between the north and the south would later tear the nation apart, in what is known as the Civil War.
