Unit 5 – Civil War and Reconstruction, 1848–1877
Topic 5.3
How does the Mexican-American War's impact on the US territorial expansion compare to that of the Louisiana Purchase?
The Louisiana Purchase caused more internal conflict compared to the Mexican-American War.
The Mexican-American War resulted in more contested territories and fueled sectional tensions while the Louisiana Purchase doubled U.S. territory peacefully.
Both actions were met with unanimous approval within the United States.
Both instances led to peaceful acquisitions of land with no significant disputes.
