Show other versions (2)

Moving Westward shows that by the 1840s, Americans once again claimed the territory of others. It analyzes the "Manifest Destiny" of the U.S., as the nation annexes Texas, acquires the Oregon territory and forces Mexico to cede California and the southwest as a result of war.
