Pls me ill give u brainliest! i do flvs btw if anyone has done this assignment.

step one: study these two maps and answer the questions that follow.
this map shows the western expansion of the united states.
this map highlights the different states that are rich in gold, oil, and coal resources. some states have more than one natural resource.

describe events that explain the border differences between these maps. use information from the maps and the lesson in your response. use complete sentences.

besides land, what did the united states gain from expansion? use information from the maps and the lesson in your response. use complete sentences.

step two: answer the question below using the framework provided.
people disagree whether the united states should have gone to war against mexico. should the united states have declared war? consider information from the lesson and maps to explain your claim with at least two reasons.

step three: form your counterargument using the framework provided.
reporter mcquill mentions your claim will be stronger if you respond well to someone who disagrees with you. use this framework to challenge a counterclaim.

the answer is 1. The map with the whole country shows the distribution of gold,coal and oil  minerals and the other map shows the expansion of the USA, clearly due to the riches found in these areas,as most of them, are located in the West.

2. The US gained the wealth the under the soil, gold, oil and coal, mainly gold and oil.

The United States shouldn't have declared war against Mexico because it was its land and though not fully explored and populated the regionhad also Native American nations, an alternative buy be to buy or get agreements to explore the regions. A second reason is that it is a clearly example of a stronger nation preying on a weaker one, an atittude which many countries do not accept.

Counterargument: It was their right to keep their state and not invade and declare war because of land.

Even though some people think that it was their right to keep the land, one could argue that caudillo-like states, as in South America, could emerge and an elite would totally dominate the poorer on the exploration of the weath.
