1) The characteristic most commonly associated with the westward expansion of the United States is C) Individualism. During the westward expansion, many Americans were driven by a desire for personal freedom, independence, and the opportunity to pursue their own economic and social goals.

2) The correct answer is D) Almost doubled the area of the U.S. and gave it control of the Mississippi. The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 was a significant event in American history. It involved the United States purchasing a large area of land from France, doubling the size of the country. This land acquisition gave the United States control of the Mississippi River and expanded its territory westward.

3) The correct answer is B) Americans trying to settle on the west coast. The Oregon Trail was a popular route used by American pioneers in the 19th century to travel westward and settle in the Oregon Territory. The trail was primarily used by people seeking new opportunities and land for settlement.

4) The correct answer is B) Move the Indian population on to reservations. The US government's policy toward Native Americans in the period immediately prior to the Civil War was to relocate them to designated reservations. This was part of the government's efforts to remove Native Americans from their ancestral lands and make way for westward expansion by white settlers.

5) The correct answer is A) The American west. Cattle ranching and mining were instrumental in attracting more people to settle in the American west during the 19th century. The vast open spaces, fertile land, and availability of resources in the west made it an attractive destination for individuals looking for economic opportunities and a fresh start.

6) The correct answer is C) Manifest Destiny. Manifest Destiny was a belief prevalent in the 19th century that it was the destiny or duty of the United States to expand its territory and influence across North America. This belief was frequently cited as a justification for U.S. expansionist policies, including clashes with other nations.

7) The correct answer is A) Served as a major highway for trade. The Mississippi River was a crucial transportation route for trade and commerce in the early 1800s. It provided a vital link between the western territories and the eastern markets, allowing for the movement of goods and people.

8) The correct answer is D) American and Mexican forces clashed over disputed border territory in southern Texas. The Mexican-American War began when tensions between the United States and Mexico escalated over disputed border territory, specifically in southern Texas. This border dispute ultimately led to armed conflict between the two nations.

9) The correct answer is B) Westward expansion caused a recurring debate over the expansion of slavery into the new territories. The increase in sectionalism between 1820 and 1850 was primarily driven by the issue of slavery and its expansion into the newly acquired western territories. This debate over slavery would eventually lead to the American Civil War.

10) The correct answer is D) The Rio Grande was established as the American border with Mexico. One of the political outcomes of the Mexican-American War was the establishment of the Rio Grande as the recognized border between the United States and Mexico. This border agreement was solidified in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the war in 1848.
