From 1800 to 1850, the United States significantly expanded its territory, acquiring approximately 1.2 million square miles of land. This expansion included the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, which doubled the size of the nation, the annexation of Texas in 1845, and the acquisition of Oregon Territory in 1846. Additionally, the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) resulted in the U.S. gaining present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming. Overall, this period marked a substantial growth in American territory, driven by the concept of Manifest Destiny.
