APUSH Project - "We Have More Land in the USA"

Mackenzie and Megan singing their own version of "Party in the USA" about territorial expansion :)

Lyrics:
New States could be added on to the west
because of the Northwest Ordinance
free & land lands were divided
it was quite intense

Louisiana Purchase occurred in 1803
Jefferson got it for not a lot of money
15 million dollars
820,000 miles

Adam's-Onis Treaty by America and Spain
A Spanish minister and John Quincy Adams
U.S. gave up on taking Texas
and Florida was added on
and Florida was added on
and Florida was added on!

So I put my hands up
for expansion
we got some land today
nodding my head like YESSS
Moving my hips out west :)

So i got my hands up
for expansion
we know its gonna be okay
Yeeahh, we have more land in the USA
Yeeahh, we have more land in the USA

America and Britain had issues
on the edge of Maine, don't you see?
Territory was divided and lakes were shared
it was the Webster-Ashburton Treaty

It was hard to acquire Texas
It was seen as a "mandate"
John Tyler got 2/3 vote
it passed in 1845

"Joint occupation" and "Oregon Fever"
Took majority of British lands
Polk and the British agreed
on line of 49
no 54 40' nor fight
no 54 40' nor fight!

So I put my hands up
for expansion
we got some land today
nodding my head like YESSS
Moving my hips out west :)

So i got my hands up
for expansion
we know its gonna be okay
Yeeahh, we have more land in the USA
Yeeahh, we have more land in the USA

Guadalupe Hidalgo
ended war with Mexico

Gadsden got New Mexico for $10 million
They got their railroad
New Mexico was a territory!

Hands up
for expansion
we got some land today
nodding my head like YESSS
Moving my hips out west :)

So i got my hands up
for expansion
we know its gonna be okay
Yeeahh, we have more land in the USA
Yeeahh, we have more land in the USA!!!
