- The Louisiana Purchase and the founding of New Orleans helped double the United State’s land and allow for a trade system along the Mississippi River, growing the United State’s economy and increasing their wealth. France needed money for war supplies, so this purchase was especially useful, this grew a closer bond between France and the U.S. which would help in the future.
- The Treaty of Guadalupe Hildago
- The Trail of Tears was very helpful for the settlers because it allowed for more land to build on, and most importantly, resources such as lumber and cattle, this land let thesettlers build towns and farms, which was helpful in trading, but it alsohelped the United States become wealthy with items and money. The Native American tribes that were involved were the 5 civilized tribes, the Creeks, Seminoles, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Cherokee, who were taken from their homes andwere put onto small reservations which had very few animals to hunt, and they couldn’t leave to hunt outside of their area, so it destroyed everything they had and forced them into hunger on a small piece of land.

- The treaty of San Jacinto let Texas become a free country, but it was poor and in need of help, so the United States annexed Texas to itself, saving Texas from becoming a failing country and allowed for Texas to have the United States as backup if Mexico had ever invaded. The United States viewed itas more land for towns and cities, along with farms and plantations for foodand for money when it is sold.
- The Transcontinental "Iron Horse" Railroad
- To the United States, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildago helped gain tons of land in the California and New Mexico area, this land alsocontained resources like gold and silver which were very luxurious at the time,so the United States’ economy would grow again. Mexico thought that this treaty was a good idea because it would mean that there wouldn’t be many conflicts between the United States and Mexico for a long time, and they knew that having a neighbor as an enemy, especially if they are stronger than you, is a bad idea.
- Treaty of Guadalupe HildagoThe United States is granted the Northern Mexico land of future California and other states.
- The Oregon Trail wasimportant to the U.S. because it let plenty of settlers go to Oregon, aresource-packed state, Oregon was also on the Pacific Ocean, so it completed manifest destiny, the resources that were here were minerals such as gold and silver, so trading or selling them would help the U.S. become wealthy. Atfirst, the Natives in Oregon saw this as an opportunity to welcome new settlers and become friendly with them through trading, but soon, they realized just how many settlers were coming to the land that they had lived on for hundreds ofyears, and started defending it, but eventually, they took defeat and settlers took over Oregon.
- Forget about gold, there are natives! Be careful!
- The Iron Horse, alsoknown as the TranscontinentalRailroad, let Americans go from one side of thecountry to the other, but when it was first built, it was partly used for bisonhunting, a common sport among settlers at the time, Americans would kill thousands at time and sell its parts for a profit. For the Natives in that area, this meant that their main food source was going down in amounts, andquickly, so fast that it almost caused a bison extinction in the U.S..
