No, Texas was populated originally by "disreputable" "rabble rousers" that wanted to escape the control of the US Federal government. Originally they were willing to accept Mexican rule, but later revolted creating an independant country: the Republic of Texas. Eventually they did choose to rejoin the US and applied for statehood.

Yes, that was the whole idea of Manifest Destiny: that it was the right and destiny of the US to expand west across the entire continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific, no matter what we had to do to who or whose rights we had to step on to accomplish that destiny.
While the idea of promoting democracy throughout the world, otherwise known as manifest destiny, sounds like a common cause for unification of the population of the US, it has been taking a beating in the last several decades. As a self-fulfilling prophecy, that which is predicted comes to fruition, has not been the case with the manifest destiny followers.
False. Manifest Destiny refers to the ideology justifying westward expansion of the young American Republic. The inception and invention of the steam engine was not a cause of this. That being said the steam engine enabled American industrialization and transportation infrastructure allowing for growth.
The concept of "manifest destiny" assumed that the US was ordained to control the continent, which had previously been inhabited only by non-industrial native tribes. When it became apparent that no other country would seriously challenge the US in the Americas, manifest destiny became the hallmark of political thinking in the 19th century.

Actually, a victim of it. Mexico lost half its territory (California, Arizona, Texas and other present-day U.S. states) due to this cause.

It was a direct cause of the Mexican-American War.
Not directly. The Gadsden Purchase was solely to obtain railroad right of way for a proposed southern Transcontinental Railroad.
The cause was that it encouraged Manifest destiny and many families traveled to the west. The effect was that it sparked disagreement from the southern states and they were worried that the Homestead Acts would cause the northern states to oppose slavery.

People traveled West during Manifest Destiny to settle the previously unknown areas of the country. It was the goal of the President Andrew Jackson to expand the freedoms known to the states on the East Coast throughout the rest of the nation.
