Answer: From 1803 to 1890, the United States of America grew from 17 states to 44 states; this growth is called Westward Expansion. The Louisiana Purchase, Mexican-American War, and Oregon Territory purchase gave America more land. The Oregon Trail, Homestead Act, and gold mining encouraged people to move west.
