Answer 3

This was the idea that it was clear, i.e. manifest, that the United States was destined to reach from the Atlantic to the Pacific. People who believed this idea tended to make plans under the assumption that it would come true and even to take steps to make it happen Settlers moved westward into territory owned by Spain or later Mexico with the idea that it might one day be annexed to the US. As the US became a military power in the region, people began to think about using force or at least risking the necessity of using force in order to add California and Texas and the land in between to the US. Adding Oregon was not much of stretch after the Louisiana Purchase and the treaty with Britain, ending the War of 1812 and the later treaty of 1818. The end result was that the destiny became true.
