American Indians and “Westward Expansion” (Battle of Little Bighorn)
The Mississippi River. In 1803 the U.S. bought the Louisiana colony and New Orleans from Napoleon because American farmers wanted to export their goods.
The Trail of Tears in 1838 is one of the most violent examples of Indian Removal by the U.S. in the southeast. The Americans violated treaties and stole Natives' land, and then forced them to walk to their new land.
In February of 1836 Mexicans fought to capture a fort in San Antonio and killed almost all of the Texans in it.
In 1846 the United States declared war on Mexico over a border dispute. Mexicans thought the border of Texas was the Nueces River while Americans thought it was the Rio Grande.
In 1846 America made a deal with Great Britain to divide the Oregon Country at the 49th parallel and split the territory. James Polk wanted all he could get and he bluffed that America was ready to go to war over Oregon. The British bought it and agreed to split the territory at the 49th parallel.
In 1876, Natives led by Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse fought George Custer’s troops and killed Custer and all his troops. The Natives felt betrayed because they were promised land for a reservation and even then it was taken away.
I need money and I am willing to sell not just New Orleans, but Louisiana too for only 15 million.
If we buy it, it will double the size of the U.S. and allow for more farmland

We want the land and colonists are already pushing natives off of it. Might as well just move them somewhere they won’t get in the way.
Groups of people attack us constantly and despite legal victories and promises made, we are forced off our land and attacked.
Andrew Jackson
John Ross
Even though it was a terrible loss, it motivated Texans to fight for their independence.
When Texas won their independence, it opened up an opportunity to annex Texas and gain new land.
The United States won, and it allowed us to expand all the way to the Pacific Coast.
Mexico agreed to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and we recognized Texas as independent. We gave a bunch of land to the U.S., and they paid us $15 million for it.

Gaining this valuable land will give us many natural resources and boost the economy. It will also make the U.S. stretch from coast to coast.
We risked our lives to come here for the chance to make money off of this bountiful land and become more prosperous.

We were promised land for our reservation but even then, the greedy Americans took it. We were forced to resort to extreme tactics.
The Natives massacred all the soldiers and Americans got madder and tensions spiked.
