Answer by Tresora
1. (4) removing Native American Indians from their tribal lands and placing them on reservations (Trail of Tears)
2. (2) Manifest Destiny (expansion to the Pacific Coast)
3. (3) search for gold (Remember the 49ers and their quest for gold initially)
4. (3) slavery
5. (4) more capable military leaders (Robert E. Lee was by far better than any of the first Union generals, mainly because Northern generals didn’t understand Lincoln’s strategy to wear out the South simply by sheer number differences; Northern leaders were usually unwilling to fight or unwilling to lose men)
