[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1299763, member: 3162"] A lot of good points, but yet we will never really know. Manifest Destiny? Except Canada prevailed without us taking them over and they are stuck between the lower 48 and Alaska. So I gotta think "just maybe" they would have let us be. Yes about the panhandle too CB. All the way up. Most of New Mexico and continuing on up to the Platte. Those folks in Colorado wouldn't hate us for abandonning them after we paid them with land that was to become a U.S. territory. The lands in the state were swallowed up in a hurry. We joined the U.S. Free of cost to them. 20 more years on our own and the land all the way up to the Platte would have been settled. Melting pot would have been a little hotter. But the truth is, we will never know. We could still be setting more like western Canada. Or things could have been much worse too. [/QUOTE]
