What is the belief that the US should extend east to west coast to coast?

Manifest Destiny refers to the American Colonists' belief that God intended for them to spread from the east to west coast. It also included ideas that helped justify the extermination of Native Americans as, according to Manifest Destiny, the American colonists were a superior race and as such had the God-given right and responsibility to remove and displace inferior races from the land, as the superior race would make better use of said land and produce more from it.
While perhaps not as extreme, it was not dissimilar to the Muslim religious philosophies that state that when it comes to infidels, double dealings, abuse and outright murder are all acceptable ways in which to deal with them; for infidels, not believing in God, are therefore not "people".
A rather disgusting notion and justification for outright slaughter if you ask me, but Manifest Destiny is the term you're looking for. Hope this helped :).
