Henry David Thoreau opposed Manifest Destiny because he believed it promoted American expansionism and imperialism at the expense of indigenous peoples and the environment. He also criticized the government for its role in supporting this expansionist policy and believed it went against principles of individual conscience and morality.

The idea that manifest destiny was responsible for growth in territory and or intercontinental railroads is a myth. In the US people sought gold in California. The government offered free land to homesteaders for national interest, not because of any "destiny". It was good chatter for newspapers, but I dare say anyone living in New York City moved to Oklahoma on the basis of manifest destiny. War with Mexico was not based on US president Polk having a vision from God. And the Mexican government did not fight to regain Texas because of religion.

Here are some major supportive arguments for Manifest Destiny and westward expansion:

1. Economic opportunity: Supporters argued that westward expansion would provide new land for agriculture, natural resources for extraction, and trade opportunities, leading to economic growth and prosperity for the rapidly expanding United States.
2. National security: Advocates believed that expanding westward would strengthen national security by establishing a buffer zone against potential foreign threats and expanding the American sphere of influence.
3. Spreading democracy and civilization: Supporters argued that the expansion would allow the United States to spread its democratic principles, values, and civilization to Native American tribes and other populations in the western territories. They believed it was the country's duty to bring progress to these areas.

The hydraulic mining system, which used high-pressure jets of water to extract gold from mountains, contributed to Manifest Destiny by making it easier to access and extract valuable resources from previously inaccessible areas. This extraction of resources further fueled westward expansion, as people were motivated to travel to these areas in pursuit of wealth and opportunity. The hydraulic mining system played a role in transforming the western landscape and driving the continued expansion of the United States.

Stephen Austin played a significant role in the Manifest Destiny as an American empresario. He led the settlement of American colonists in Mexican Texas, seeking to increase American influence in the region. His efforts eventually led to the Texas Revolution and the establishment of the Republic of Texas, which ultimately joined the United States as the state of Texas.

The Destiny of Zorro is a video game released in 2008 for the Wii console. It is based on the Zorro character and his adventures.

The idea of Manifest Destiny contributed to the displacement and mistreatment of Native Americans. As the US expanded westward, Native American lands were forcefully taken, leading to conflicts and the loss of their traditional way of life. Treaties were often disregarded, and Native Americans were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands, leading to a strained and contentious relationship between the US government and Native American tribes.

The three major land gains of Manifest Destiny were the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the United States, the annexation of Texas, which added a large territory to the southwest, and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which acquired significant territory in the Southwest from Mexico.

In some religious beliefs, angels are believed to be able to manifest on Earth without needing a human vessel. However, in other beliefs, angels may choose to take on a physical form or use a human vessel as a means of communication or interaction with humans.

It helped to fulfill America's manifest destiny by helping expand its territory across the North American continent.

I don't believe in destiny. God knows what your future is, but He has given you free will. Free will to chose what paths you go down in life. Free will to step out into traffic at the right or wrong time. That'll change what happens next. God has given you free will to make the decision to accept Jesus as your savior or not. That will mean the difference between heaven and hell. YOU chose the paths that you go down, not destiny. If everything was pre-destined then why would we chose right from wrong. Who would care what we did, it wouldn't change anything. Destiny? Nope. You can change it little by little by finding one thing that you can improve about your life and then another, take it one step at a time. (Solutions for a dangerous environment booklet by L.Ron Hubbard says at least how you can make your life better, little by little). I don't have enough time to discuss it now, but if you have any questions you can message me (Enagee).

Im against Manifest Destiny because I do not think the United States should be allowed to go to a place and tell them they want their land. It is just not right it is wrong. and this is my personal opinion and i wont agree to this crap. does anyone agree to this manifest destiny? do you want to allow the United States to come to your home and tell you to get out because they want your land.

Manifest Destiny was one of the reasons that the settlement of the Canadian West occurred. To understand this one has to first understand what the situation was at that time in history. The Canadian Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald and many other politicians in Canada believed that if the West was not claimed by Canada the Americans would take over it. There were already illegal American traders in what was technically Canadian territory. In fact Macdonnald said that he would not even consider settling the West if it wasn't for the American threat of Manifest Destiny.

What viewpoint? You did not state. thats all it said on the paper

.

Americans began traveling to the West to settle.

Traveling afoot, many pioneers spread out across America. Others rode mules, horses, or bought a wagon and joined up with a wagon train. Back then, the Cadillac of wagons was the Conestoga wagon.
