Answer:
C . expansion and conquest.
Explanation:
After the Independence of the United States from Great Britain, the USA started to look eastward in efforts to increase their territory and the resources available for the new nation. Most notably, the purchase of the Louisiana territory from France in 1803 doubled the size of the nation. Later, encouraged by what is known as the manifest destiny, the USA´s territory expanded all the way to the Pacific Coast. Finally, the Mexican-American war (1846-1848), must not be neglected since it managed to incorporate Texas, California and New Mexico to the territories of the US.
