Plunder?
Maybe the Philippines, and sales forced as part of the outcome of war (Gadsden Purchase). The rest were purchases from folks who didn't have the bodies to occupy the land and/or needed a quick cash infusion (Florida, Louisiana Territory, Alaska) or acquired through petition (Texas).

Plunder? Yes, plunder.
How else would you characterize the Mexican-American war that saw most of the west taken from Mexico and becoming part of the US?
Have you forgotten: "Remember the Alamo"?

The American Indians might call it plunder. Ya think?
