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.
