AMERICAN HISTORY
Question – 1
Ans: - The United States of America is said to have begun the expansion of the territories for
itself during the period of the years between the years of 1790 – 1860. It was also during this
time that the country of U.S.A. also started to build the vast industrial systems for the country
itself.
It was also the time when the country of The United States of America started their
geographical expansions so that the country could have more areas under its control. The
main features of the geographical expansion of the country is to acquire as many territories as
it could have on their own,
This territorial expansion of the country of The United States of America began as a
result of the tension which rose as a rivalry between the free states and the slave states which
was a major problem during the times (Foner:2013).
Moreover the rise of the cotton industries in the country around the same time also
gave the initiatives to the U.S. officials to occupy the areas so that they could get the access
to the areas where the cotton kingdom were more prevalent in the country itself (Foner,
2013).
Apart from the rivalries between the free states and that of the slave states in the
country and the growth of the cotton kingdom, the other reasons why the years 1790 -1860
led to the country undergoing geographical expansions is of a number of reasons.
