a.) 1846
The land west of the Mississippi River was acquired through various means, including purchases, treaties and conflicts, but by far the largest acquisition was the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. This purchase from France essentially doubled the size of the United States and extended westward from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains.
