B
the United States and Great Britain went to war in 1846.
C
the nation elected a president who was in the Whig Party.
D
the traditional way of life for Indigenous peoples was threatened.

Explanation

Manifest Destiny encouraged U.S. expansion westward across the continent. As settlers and the government took Indigenous lands, Indigenous communities faced displacement and major changes to their traditional ways of life. The northern boundary was ultimately set at 49° north, and the 1846 war was with Mexico, not Great Britain.
