Manifest Destiny significantly shaped American politics by justifying territorial expansion and promoting the idea that the U.S. was destined to spread democracy and civilization across the continent. This doctrine fueled debates over slavery in newly acquired territories, leading to tensions between free and slave states, which ultimately contributed to the Civil War. Politically, it encouraged policies like the annexation of Texas and the Oregon Trail, while also influencing relations with Native American tribes and foreign nations, particularly Mexico. The belief in Manifest Destiny solidified a national identity centered on expansionism and American exceptionalism.
