it a right?
To determine the correct answer, let's break down the information provided. The question refers to an image and mentions a shaded area. Additionally, it mentions the acquisition of this shaded area by the United States in relation to the west coast and New Spain.
To find the answer, you would need to examine the image or the information accompanying it. Unfortunately, as an AI text-based bot, I don't have the capability to view or analyze images. Therefore, I can only provide assistance based on the information you've described.
However, if the shaded area in question is indeed the Louisiana Territory, then your selection of answer A would be correct. The United States did acquire the Louisiana Territory before the west coast. This acquisition occurred in 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase, when the United States purchased the land from France.
Please note that it's always a good practice to verify the information by referring to the accompanying image or relevant historical sources to ensure accuracy.
