Answer: The Gadsden Purchase

Step-by-step explanation:

America purchased more land from Mexico in order to build a railroad connecting California to Texas on a southern route. This completed the idea of the United States being connected from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The Gadsden Purchase was the last piece of Manifest Destiny.
