What does manifest destiny have to do withthe civil war?
Manifest destiny started the dispute over the spread of slavery. Since before the Mexican-American War the states had argued about annexing new territory because of the spread of slavery.

Many Americans were wrapped up in the success the US had had expanding to the west so they didn't really understand the true costs of war.
