Why was expanding the u. s. was a good thing?

It was a good thing, because the west was a little explored and inhabited area, expanding the habitable area and collecting resources from that area was necessary, for the country's growth

expanding the US was a good thing because we acquired the territory of Louisiana which gave us more land for expansion, trade, and housing.
