Best Answer

The reason the people of the United States felt like it was their right and duty to spread across the continent of North America was based on one idea called Manifest Destiny, which has the famous quote: "From sea to shining sea." Manifest Destiny was accomplished through the Monroe Doctrine, if you wish to learn more go to Wikipedia and look up the Monroe Doctrine or Manifest Destiny. I hope this answer helped.
