Before 1820, the United States expanded primarily to the west and south. The westward expansion included territories acquired through treaties, purchases, and exploration, such as the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Additionally, the U.S. expanded southward through the annexation of Florida in 1819. This period of expansion was driven by a belief in Manifest Destiny and the desire for land and resources.
