How did American settlers prompt U.S. territory acquisition in some cases?
a.Since the people living in disputed areas were the most familiar with the land and living situation, they were often recruited as key negotiators for international treaties.
b.Settlers who moved near border areas and were disgruntled with conditions sometimes declared independence with the intention of joining the United States.
c.Most people were still farmers, and the depletion of good farmland in the East caused a great deal of the population to demand that leaders make new lands available.
d.Many wealthy landowners would purchase large tracts of land from foreign neighbors and then sell it to the United States for a significant profit.
