Answer:

The territories were full of gold.

Step-by-step explanation:

They didn't like it because they wanted their lands for the gold that was underneath and killed off their food source as a result they were angry and wanted to fight.

The territories were ready to be claimed. Americans believed westward expansion was their destiny. It was called “Manifest Destiny”
