Summary: I Am Monami
I am Monami and I am a Mexican teenager in Texas. I live with my father who is a farmer, my mother and my 4 siblings who work inside the house. Our family is in the middle class. Our farm has animals and valuable crops. Although working in farms are laborious, this made us a much valuable state since our climate is suited for growing valuable crops like cotton. The US affects us because a lot of people settled into a colony and those people buy more crops from us. They affected our nation by buying some of our land but some people are coming in without being a citizen of Texas nor converting to Catholicism which is against the contract and because of that, settlers keeps on filling up the land. Obviously they think it is futile to follow

Certain factors can be found that are responsible for early American expansion and late nineteenth century imperialism. The motives for expansionism both in America and out were relatively the same. Religious reasons such as in early expansion was spreading Christianity and in late imperialism spreading Christianity to our little brown brothers in the Philippines. Economic factors were contributed by building railroads in expansion and using the sugar and cheap labor in Cuba during imperialism years. Social motives like those in the early years were that of railroads across the plains and keeping up with the European powers in the imperialistic years. Humanitarian, we thought, reasons in the early expansion years was assimilating the Indians and then years later, assimilating the Filipinos. Finally, geographic motives such as the Louisiana Purchase to double the size of America and annexing Hawaii and imperializing Cuba and the Philippines in the later years. The only major difference between these times was the expansion beyond America’s borders.…

    Looking back at the late 19th century and early 20th century, America engaged in acts of imperialism that left the country forever changed. This imperialism period was made up of nations expanding their influence and power to other countries around the world through diplomacy or military force.

America’s intervention and acquisition of the Panama Canal Zone in the 1900s led to economic growth and trade relations, becoming a greater political power, and ruined relationships with…

The united states were fairly impacted in many ways because of the arrival of the white man in the early American west in the 1800s.

    This land could be used for western expansion as the population of the young country continued to increase. Thomas Paine was one of the main politicians who voiced concern over the religious differences between the populations of the current United States and those that would inhabit the new territory. It was a problem of national unity. He was concerned over how the United States would add those who already resided in the territory. These inhabitants had gone through a transfer of power and control from Spain, France, and now the United States. The religions worshiped by these inhabitants were based on the prior countries that held control. Paine was very concerned by this because the territory had a large population of Catholics, whereas the majority of the United States was Protestant. These inhabitants had also been in control based on rulers based on divine right. Paine was concerned with how the newest citizens of the United Stated would accept the Constitution, based on a separation between church and state. Despite these concerns, Paine did acknowledge that assimilation would be successful, but it would take…

    Colonialism was one factor that played a role in shaping the identity of America. European countries forced Africans to come to America as slaves, which is a form of colonialism. This changed the demographic of America, increasing the number of African Americans, consequently changing the identity of America. Colonialism also affected the number of immigrants that were allowed to come to America. European countries required immigrants to come to the new world with charters. Without charters, more people would have been able to immigrate to colonial America, thus changing the size and the identity of America. Although colonialism did not play as big of role as geography or religion, it still made a major difference in the shaping of America’s identity.…
