Answer:
The age of American Expansionism can be easily perceived through a clear imperial ambition being masked as will of the people. This is as:-
1)In the early days of American Independence, The American Armies went to war with Native Americans regardless of thier stances or relationship with The Federal Government. Incidents such as The Battle of Little Big Horn and The Massacre of wounded knee provide examples of how both sides were desperate albeit for different reasons.
2)The United States offered to buy large swathes of land from Mexico but after a refusal, a war was initiated as Mexico was in a way completely unable to exert pressure or any real authority in territories north of The Modern Border in Texas, United states
3)The American Ideology of "Manifesting Destiny" resulted in European origin elites to believe that this land was God Given to these settlers and they had a divine right to head west towards the pacific coast. Eventually, Even after United the nation as one, The American ambitions still lead them to war against the Spanish for control of more islands surrounding the States.
Explanation:
The pattern is easily visible in almost all Early American wars (except the Civil War) and shows the imperialistic ambition of The Newly formed United States after 1776 all the way to the "End of the Wild West".
