In the 1800s, the U.S. government began a policy of westward expansion, often referred to as "Manifest Destiny." This belief held that Americans were destined to expand across the continent, leading to the acquisition of vast territories through treaties, purchases, and military force. This policy resulted in significant displacement and suffering of Native American populations, as well as conflicts such as the Mexican-American War. The era also saw the implementation of policies that promoted settlement and development in newly acquired lands.
