Which of these is most closely related to the Mexican-American War A Mason-Dixon Line B The Louisiana Purchase C Manifest Destiny D American Immigration policies?
Mexico had claimed Texas. The US wanted Texas, arguably because many Americans believed in Manifest Destiny-- we were 'entitled' to lands from ocean to ocean. If America had not already worked out eastern Canadian-US boundaries in the French and Indian War, and if the French had not strongly set up control over Canada, Americans probably would have pushed north, too, under Manifest Destiny. Once the US took over Texas, the US stopped pushing further south.

Was the US justified in expanding its border?
Its all relative on how you would consider justification. The 19th century Americans had the idea of Manifest Destiny, like it was there "Destiny" to expand westward and take over most of the continent. But, as you probably know, there were already people living there (natives.) The Native Americans were already pushed westward and put on reservations to try to "civilize" them. But once again, it is all relative.

Who pushed the native Americans off their land as they began expanding westward?
As American settlers expanded westward in the 19th century, the U.S. government and various state militias played significant roles in pushing Native Americans off their land. Policies such as the Indian Removal Act of 1830 facilitated forced relocations, exemplified by events like the Trail of Tears. Settler expansion, driven by the belief in Manifest Destiny, often resulted in violent conflicts and treaties that were frequently broken, leading to the loss of Native American territories.
What were the rights to continental expansion?
As the United States pushed settlements further into the west, continental expansion took away the lands that had previously been occupied by Native Americans. As most Europeans, the Anglo-Americans didn't recognized land rights of indigenous people. Instead, they believed in manifest destiny, that it was their right and privilege to continue to expand.
How did the events of westward expansion push the US further toward disunion?
Westward expansion intensified sectional tensions over slavery as new territories were acquired and debates arose about whether they would be free or slave states. The Missouri Compromise and the Kansas-Nebraska Act attempted to address these issues but ultimately deepened divisions, leading to violent conflicts such as "Bleeding Kansas." As the South sought to protect its slaveholding interests and the North pushed against the spread of slavery, these disagreements contributed to a growing rift that culminated in the Civil War. Ultimately, the pursuit of Manifest Destiny not only expanded the nation geographically but also exacerbated the ideological divides that threatened its unity.
What was the main reason that settlers and trappers pushed farther west?
Settlers and trappers pushed farther west primarily in search of new economic opportunities, including fertile land for agriculture and abundant natural resources such as fur and minerals. The promise of Manifest Destiny, the belief that Americans were destined to expand across the continent, also fueled this westward movement. Additionally, the lure of adventure and the desire for a fresh start attracted many individuals and families to explore and settle in the western territories.
What is the edge of settlement for early settler who pushed westward?
frontier
In what was the frontier it the US pushed west of the Mississippi River?
The frontier in the United States west of the Mississippi River was characterized by the expansion of settlers, farmers, and traders into new territories during the 19th century. This movement was fueled by the belief in Manifest Destiny, the idea that Americans were destined to expand across the continent. Key events, such as the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and the subsequent westward migrations, facilitated the establishment of new settlements and the development of infrastructure. This period also saw significant conflicts with Native American tribes and changes in the landscape and demographic makeup of the region.
