65 Words1 Page

I have to respectfully disagree with you. Admittedly, the Louisiana Purchase opened up the possibility of the Mexican Cession, but gaining control of states such as California eventually attracted many immigrants from East Asian countries. This increase in population (which contained innovative minds who took action as leading pioneers in advancing technology) effectively diversified our culture more into the one we are familiar with

  • Case Study: Zeitoun Vs. State Of Louisiana Case

    327 Words  | 2 Pages

    May it please the court that the State of Louisiana violated the first and sixth amendments on the grounds of the Zeitoun vs State of Louisiana case. Zeitoun believes he was unlawfully discriminated against due to his race and religion, and imprisoned without a proper trial, kept in cruel and unusual circumstances, and his dietary restrictions were not met. Is it not stated in the first amendment that congress will make no law respecting the establishment, or prohibit the free exercise of a religion? If this is not in the amendment please correct me but I believe it is, and the government forces who put Mr. Zeitoun through much trouble and arrested him are in the wrong. Mr. Zeitoun says that he was mocked when he prayed and they said he was

  • Territorial Expansion Dbq Analysis

    891 Words  | 4 Pages

    Within the years 1800 and 1855 an issue that was making waves in the United States was whether the country should expand in size or not. Multiple events such as the Mexican-American war and the idea of “Manifest Destiny” lead to a growing discrepancy between the supporters and opponents of expansion. Although the opponents had some valid and understandable concerns with expansion, the supporters overall had a better argument. To start off, trade was a reason that many people supported the expansion of the United States. The supporters claimed that the expansion could lead to a route to Asia and that the United States trade would flourish and the economy would boom and everyone would have their fair share of the success (Doc. F).

    “In 1817, Americans burned a Seminole village on the border (Florida), killed five Indians, dispersed the rest.” (Shi and Tindall, 306) This comes to show that the trail of tears was not the first ruthless obtainment of territory on America’s part, and as shown throughout History, it was not the last. Territorial expansion helped raise the population and diversity of white men and women, but through the expansion of America in unscrupulous ways millions of Native Americans and black slaves were killed. America’s hunger for more territory was not always satisfied by the thieving of other ethnic group’s territories, soon America began pioneering west once more.

    The problem with this is was that those lands were controlled by either Mexico, Great Britain or Native American tribes. To gain this territory, the US would have to either purchase, negotiate or forcefully take it from its current owners. Americans justified their expansion west by claiming it was their Manifest Destiny, or god given right to cover and control these lands. In addition to this idea, notions of racial superiority motivated white Americans to travel west

  • Louisiana Purchase Impact

    As previously mentioned, the Louisiana Purchase had significant impacts on the size, territory and history of the United States. The purchase that would currently translate to 50 cents per acre (in dollars) increased the size of the United States by 828,000 square miles. Through this purchase, the country increased by ten states and parts of three more states (Wills par, 1). The Louisiana Purchase reflected the increased measures to ensure the growth of the United States and its eventual control and rise to become the world’s super power. Prior to the Louisiana Purchase, many Americans were dreaming of having a bigger country and believed that the United States would grow to become an even greater nation (Landau, p.5).

  • Arguments Against Manifest Destiny

    1309 Words  | 6 Pages

    During the 1840, the United States was able to access much more land in the west than previously before. The United States saw this as an opportunity to expand their territories and to settle and obtain all things the land has to offer. The United States justified their actions through the idea of Manifest Destiny, which they viewed to be a harmless and benevolent philosophy. Manifest Destiny was in fact not as benign as the United States has come to believe; it caused the colonization and imperialism of land that held many Natives who were eventually killed or sent into reservations. People in the southern region of the conquered land were greatly influenced by this expansion as well; it caused many families who were living in the Texas area

    There were many groups living in the United States between 1860 and 1900 and most of the groups we can categorize people into had very different viewpoints. The main groups that most can be categorized into are the wealthy, the common people, the Indians and the Chinese. Starting with the wealthy they looked at the west as a big fat paycheck, the wealth folks went out west and bought up lots of land and production and monopolized, while the common people competed with these big companies for free and cheap land because they were the poor back east and came out west with hopes of finding gold while mining or getting rich off abundant crop land or maybe it was some common women who came out west because they were allowed to purchase land out west. The Indians were native to the west and after immigration started some of the bigger tribes fought back but most tribes were too small and were forced by the American

  • The Trans-Mississippi West

    784 Words  | 4 Pages

    During the “Gilded Age” period of American history, development of the Trans-Mississippi west was crucial to fulfilling the American dream of manifest destiny and creating an identity which was distinctly American. Since the west is often associated with rugged pioneers and frontiersmen, there is an overarching idea of hardy American individualism. However, although these settlers were brave and helped to make America into what it is today, they heavily relied on federal support. It would not have been possible for white Americans to settle the Trans-Mississippi west without the US government removing Native Americans from their lands and placing them on reservations, offering land grants and incentives for people to move out west, and the
