The united states of america grew to its large size through multiple purchases that were made by the presidents. The largest of these was the Louisiana purchase, which brought a lot of land to america. This included states from Montana to Louisiana and all in between. The other states on the California side of the US were purchasesd later one at a time. I do know that New mexico however along with parts of Arizona belonged to mexico until the US purchased it from mexico.
