American Expansion
Prompt:
After temporarily resolving the problems of Reconstruction and Industrialization, Americans began to
resume the course of expansion. The horrors of the Civil War had interrupted the original Manifest
Destiny that began in the 1840s. Now, as pioneers settled the last western frontiers, expansionists
looked yet farther to the west—toward Asia and the Pacific to join their European brethren in a quest to
conquer the world.
