Answer 1

Many considered it to be uncivilized and underdeveloped even though it was home to many native peoples, as well as setters from France, Spain, Mexico and other countries. However, the U.S. truley believe it was their Manifest Destiny, obvious fate, to spread the idea of liberty and democracy to this land. They also felt it was their duty to civilize it by bringing in roads, railroads, the telegram, etc. It was at this time that America set out to gain control of this land. In the end, America won but, it took settlement, treaties, and war to achieve their dream.......hope u will lyk it....
