Explanation:

The American Revolutionary War was a war of independence of the United States of America that was fought between the 19th of April, 1775 and 3rd of September, 1783. The war started when the delegates from the thirteen (13) American colonies in Congress (First continental congress) revolted against the Great Britain over their lack of representation in the colonies and refusal to give consent to parliament's taxation such as Stamp Act and Townshend Acts.

By the 1840s, belief in Manifest Destiny had become quite popular in the United States. So, support for expanding the territory of the U.S. was an important issue in the 1844 presidential election. This election was won by James K. Polk, the candidate of the Democratic Party.

right
Complete the sentence.
According to the platform, the Democratic Party ___ Manifest Destiny.


supported


neither supported or opposed


opposed

Answers

Answer:

supported

Explanation:

Part of the idea behind manifest destiny is that the U.S. was entitled to all of the land surrounding the country at the time. That included the territory of Oregon, and Texas, which had not become a state yet. The statement claiming that "our title to the whole of the Territory of Oregon is clear and unquestionable, and the annexation of Texas......is important to American progress". shows that whoever is speaking, has a firm belief in the entitlement of the U.S. to the surrounding land, exactly what manifest destiny is.

Answer:

Supported.

Explanation:

The Manifest Destiny was the belief that it was it was the American's obligated right to expand westward. Therefore, if the Democratic Party had won the election, most likely, as long as the Manifest Destiny was popular and supported, it would translate to support to the party that projected that viewpoint.

According to the platform, the Democratic Party supported the Manifest Destiny.

Why do you think it was difficult for the United States to expand west? Be specific and include two examples.


Answers

It would be difficult for the United States for two reasons, the fact that none of the land was mapped other than the areas that previous voyagers had gone through, and the natural landscape of the area, and last, Native American Hostility.

Three examples: When pioneers would voyage to the west, there would often be encounters were they would be attacked by animals that had not been seen before, bears, sneaks, different wolves, and many more. They barely knew the natural resources of the area, such as food, etc.

The next example, no mapping, would be difficult because for the most part, they had no sense of navigation except for the few maps that had been made, even then, would be difficult to navigate.

Native Americans did not appreciate the pioneers coming into the land they considered their own, they resembled hostility and would even kill the civilians that would travel through the land, or capture them.
