Answer 1

america’s manifest destiny

Answer 2

Answer: D) "America's 'Manifest Destiny'"

Explanation: "America's 'Manifest Destiny'" would be the best title for this map. 'Manifest Destiny" refers to the belief that the U.S. was ordained by God to spread all the way to the western coast of North America. While the map does show the Louisiana Purchase, it shows much more than just that: it shows Manifest Destiny. Also, not all the land was acquired through violent means (particularly the Louisiana Territory).
