The United States acquired most of its land during the 19th century, particularly in the 1840s and 1850s. Key events include the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the annexation of Texas in 1845, and the Oregon Trail migration, culminating in the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), which resulted in significant territorial gains. This expansion greatly shaped the nation's borders and its growth as a continental power.
