Recently created republics became empires; constitutions declared equality for all while maintaining large sectors of the population enslaved; and claims of liberty, freedom, and democracy sparked an era of conquest and expansionism. The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic age exacerbated ideas of republicanism that justified conquest in the name of liberty.[1] On the other side of the Atlantic, the United States was founded with expansionism as one of the main justifications for declaring Independence.[2] Once the new nation secured the Trans Appalachian borders, its conquering impulses were redirected towards La Florida and Louisiana.[3] These Imperial desires o
