Question

How do the territorial boundaries correspond with the modern state borders?

Answer 1

Answer:

The United States underwent territorial expansion between 1790 and 1850. This resulted in a transformation in the borders of the country, where the territorial boundaries of the United States corresponded to the borders of modern states.

Explanation:

The United States government claimed that it was necessary to expand the country to the west, the further the expansion proceeded the more the country prospered. Based on this concept was made the purchase of Louisiana which resulted in the increase of the national territory. At the same time, the settlers were facing resistance from the natives in Oklahoma because they also wanted to take possession of that territory. Given this scenario, the US government established that a portion of the territory would be given to all citizens who worked and left the produce land (in the midst of indigenous hostility), this also helped to expand the national territory. Finally, California's golden fever also influenced the country's expansion. Thus, it is true to say that the national borders of the United States corresponded to the borders of modern states resulting from territorial expansion.

Answer 2

The territorial boundries correspond with the modern state borders by  achieving independence with the Treaty of Paris, the United States expanded westward, enlarging its borders seven times, with two major border adjustments, one each with colonies of the United Kingdom and Spain, and several small disputes. The original thirteen states grew into fifty states, most of which began asincorporated territories. The general pattern seen in this is of territorial expansion, carving of organized territories from the newly acquired land, modification of the borders of these territories, and eventual statehood. Only two states, Nevada and Missouri, grew appreciably after statehood, and five, Georgia, Massachusetts,North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia, lost land, in each case to form new states.
