The United States aimed to expand its territory primarily westward, driven by the belief in Manifest Destiny during the 19th century. This expansion included the acquisition of lands from Native American tribes, as well as territories from Mexico, such as California and Texas. Additionally, the U.S. sought to extend its influence into the Pacific, with interests in Hawaii and other islands. Overall, the goal was to spread democracy and economic opportunity across the continent.
