The Atlantic to Pacific Empire refers to the historical expansion of the United States across the North American continent, from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. This notion is often tied to the concept of Manifest Destiny, which held that American settlers were destined to expand across the continent. The empire's expansion involved territorial acquisitions through treaties, purchases, and conflicts, significantly shaping the nation's geography, culture, and economy. Key events include the Louisiana Purchase, the annexation of Texas, and the Oregon Trail migration.
