Solution
-
The opinion expressed by those who opposed the expansion of the United States was that the United States bullied its weaker neighbors.
-
Through the Gadsden Purchase of 1853, a good railroad route to California was gained.
-
Without a map or additional context, it's impossible to definitively say which treaty we acquired Sections 5 & 3 from. However, based on the options given, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo or the Oregon Treaty could be possible answers, as these treaties involved significant land acquisitions by the United States.
-
Similarly, without additional context, it's difficult to say which treaty we acquired Section 4 from. The Gadsden Purchase, Oregon Treaty, Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and Louisiana Purchase all involved land acquisitions, so any could potentially be the correct answer.
