...with William Clark. While fictional, the responses will use historical evidence to back responses reflecting how William Clark may have responded to topics surrounding the United States of America prior to 1865. Also, I will use “America” and ‘American” in reference to citizens of the United States of America. While this term is exclusionary of others who claim these titles, to eliminate ambiguity this paper will use these terms in reference specifically to the United States of America.

...Tammy Prater Survey of American History I HIST 2010 Spring 2014 “Manifest Destiny and American Territorial Expansion A Brief History with Documents” By Carrie Duncan Manifest Destiny is an event, and a philosophy, that changed how the United States expanded from thirteen colonies into what it is today. The term, Manifest Destiny, was first used in 1845 by John O'Sullivan, to give explanation for the United States' right of expansion. He stated that"...the right of our manifest destiny to over spread and to possess the whole of the continent which Providence has given us for the development of the great experiment of liberty and federaltive development of self government entrusted to us. It is right such as that of the tree to the space of air and the earth suitable for the full expansion of its principle and destiny of growth." 1 The principle behind Manifest Destiny has been around since Christopher Columbus first discovered the Caribbean. Many years after Columbus' discovery of the New World, Europe and Mexico were wanting to expand, and control new territories in North America. This want for new territory, would cause boundary issues and fears to arise soon after the Revolutionary War with the fledgling government of the United States. These boundary issues and fears would help the supporters, who wanted to expand the United States borders, to push for acquiring new territories in...

...“The Haitian Revolution has often been described as the largest most successful slave rebellion in the Western Hemisphere” (Sutherland). It was frightening to Thomas Jefferson, despite the sudden absence of France as a regional threat, Jefferson could not bring himself to support a nation of former slaves who had successfully rebelled. North American policies towards the revolution in Saint-Domingue shifted dramatically with the election of Thomas Jefferson. Although trading continued, and France blamed the United States for supplying Louverture with guns and ammunition, there was growing U.S. hostility to the regime in Saint-Domingue. An easing of U.S. relations with the French also reduced the political value of a U.S alliance with Louverture's regime (“Haiti’s Revolution and the United States”). “Regardless of his ideals of liberty and equality, Jefferson acted out of fear and perceived necessity when he called for an embargo on Haiti that would cripple its recovery from the war for freedom”...

...A Good Price for Good Land Webster Wallace American Intercontinental University U.S. History Abstract This paper will tell how the Louisiana Purchase came to be and how the U.S. acquired it. It will tell of the short and long-term consequences of acquiring this territory. It will tell of Thomas Jefferson and the political aspects of this purchase. This paper will discuss The Lewis and Clark expedition briefly and will have a summary of all the facts in its conclusion. A Good Price for Good Land The Louisiana Purchase is certainly one of the largest land deals in modern history, and also one of the best overall land deals one could ever hope for. As part of American history, it is the best thing that could have happened to a country who needed the space and who could not reject the price. Acquired in 1803 the United States paid $15 million dollars for well over 800,000 square miles of undiscovered land. That averages out to less than 5 cents per acre. At that price people would be lining up today to get as many acres as possible. For that matter, people still would be lined up to buy the whole thing even at today’s price of $283 million dollars. Could you imagine calling it The Oprah Purchase? The Louisiana Purchase was a very nice deal, and one the U.S. could not afford to pass up. The deal was arguably the greatest achievement of Thomas Jefferson’s presidency, but it also was a problem for him. Jefferson was anti-federalist and while he may have written or played...

...Richard HIST101 D008 American Military University Dr. Peter Cash During the 19th Century, “Manifest Destiny” was the belief or idea that Anglo-Americans were chosen by God to expand Northern American republican institutions and Protestant churches from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast. (Henretta, Edwards, & Self, 2012) Many great Anglo-Americans such as Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Polk, Pioneer Daniel Boone, and Army volunteers Captain Meriwether Lewis and Lieutenant William Clark, just to name a few, had been interested in expanding Anglo-American exploration and presence in North America. Motivated by economic wealth and prosperity, political power, or just plain curiosity,...

...The acquisition of the Louisiana territory by the United States on April 30th, 1803 from France was a crucial and prosperous event in American history. As in The Louisiana Purchase, Thomas Jefferson once said, “This little event, of France’s possessing herself of Louisiana is the embryo of a tornado which will burst on the countries on both sides of the Atlantic and involve in its effects their highest destinies” (Zurn 101). Without the Louisiana Purchase, the U.S. would not have grown and prospered into the nation it is today without the territory’s exploration, discovery, mobility, and political debate. To begin, after months’ of negotiation, the acquisition of the Louisiana territory led to the largest enthusiasm for expansion the U.S....
