America is the third largest country in the world expanding beyond its territories, with 50 states and 9 territories the boundaries have changed a lot through negotiation and bloodshed. The 5 treaties that changed America the most were the Louisiana Purchase, Adams-Onis Treaty, Texas Annexation, Mexican Cession, and the Alaska Purchase. These brought new farmland, homestead, livestock, and also brought luxury to the Americans with gold and oil.
America has done a lot of different techniques to purchase land such as purchasing and war for land. Although they have done some shady stuff to acquire the land of Hawaii. In 1893, a group of businessmen came to overthrow the monarchy and force Queen Liliuokalani to abdicate. Which lead to the dissolving of the kingdom of Hawaii two years later, then its annexation as a US territory and eventually as a state.
