    The document discusses the history of American expansionism and the Monroe Doctrine. It outlines the founding of the original 13 colonies in the early 1600s. It then discusses American independence from Britain in 1776 and the expansion of the new United States territory through conquest and purchase in the 1800s. This period of expansion was driven by the ideology of Manifest Destiny, which held that the US was destined to expand across North America. In 1823, President Monroe issued the Monroe Doctrine, which stated that the US would not tolerate further European colonization in the Americas and viewed any such attempts as hostile acts against the United States.
