This new Seminar Study surveys the history of U.S. territorial expansion from the end of the American Revolution until 1860.

The book explores the concept of 'manifest destiny' and asks why, if expansion was 'manifest', there was such opposition to almost every expansionist incident. Paying attention to key themes often overlooked - Indian removal and the US government land sales policy, the book looks at both 'foreign' expansion such as the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, and the war with Mexico in the 1840s and 'internal' expansion as American settlers moved west .

Finally, the book addresses the most recent historiographical trends in the subject and asks how Americans have dealt with the expansionist legacy.

• Examination of important period in US history - provides reader with understanding of how todays United States of America was created
• Covers major historical events - chronological account of nation-building.
• Explores key concept of 'manifest destiny' - enables reader to assess its importance in US expansionism
• Includes pedagogical features of Seminar Study - Who's Who, Glossary and selection of primary documents

Jacksonian America ( 1832 - 1854)  [LONGMAN UK IMPORTS]   (U.S. History)

Mark Joy is Associate Professor, Department of History and Political Science, Jamestown College, North Dakota

American Expansionism surveys the history of U.S. territorial expansion from the end of the American Revolution until the beginning of the American Civil War in 1860. Besides foreign expansion such as the Louisiana Purchase and the acquisition of the lands of the Mexican cession, the book also covers the internal expansion as American settlers moved west. Issues covered include:

• the definition of the U.S.-Canada border and the border between U.S. territory and Spanish territory in the Southwest
• U.S. government land sales policy
• the governments policy of removing the Indians from the eastern United States to the region west of Mississippi

The author also addresses some important questions about the concept of Manifest Destiny. For example, if nineteenth-century Americans thought that the expansion of the U.S. was manifest, then why was there significant opposition to almost every incident of expansionism? Key themes from the most recent historiographical trends in the interpretation of the subject have also been incorporated.

provides students with an invaluable accessible introduction to the subject, with key documents from the time period and learning aids such as a glossary, whos who, chronology and guide for further reading.
