As the US spread westward in fulfillment of manifest destiny, the question always arose about whether slavery would be permitted in each of the new territories/states. An uneasy truce was reached that effectively allowed one new slave state for each new free state but the compromise was unsustainable because the slave based economy was not particularly suitable for most of the western territories that were being settled. The tension over slavery (and other issues) as the power shifted in favor of the northern and western states/territories eventually boiled over into the civil war.

How was the manifest destiny of the 1840s-particularly the expansion into Texas and Mexico- related to the sectional conflict over slavery?
The manifest destiny of the 1840s, particularly the expansion into Texas and Mexico, intensified sectional conflict over slavery by raising the question of whether new territories would be free or slave-holding. The annexation of Texas, a slave state, and the subsequent Mexican-American War led to disputes over the extension of slavery into new lands, fueling tensions between the North and South. This conflict ultimately contributed to the emergence of the Republican Party and heightened divisions that would culminate in the Civil War. Thus, manifest destiny not only signified a belief in American expansion but also exacerbated the already volatile issue of slavery in the United States.
To what group did the term manner find destiny apply?
The phrase "manifest destiny" is most often associated with the territorial expansion of the United States from 1812 to 1860. This era, from the end of the War of 1812 to the beginning of the American Civil War, has been called the "age of manifest destiny"
How was manifest destiny implemented?
Manifest Destiny was the belief held by Americans that the U.S. should own all of the land on North America from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This was achieved when the U.S. won the Mexican-American War and acquired what is now the Southwestern U.S. However, acquisition of this land brought back up the slavery question, i.e. should this new territory be slave or free--an argument that would eventually lead to the U.S. Civil War. The manifest destiny also led back to popular soveignty!!!

How did manifest destiny affect democracy?
Manifest Destiny, the 19th-century belief that American expansion was both justified and inevitable, significantly influenced democracy by promoting the idea of American exceptionalism and the spread of democratic ideals. As the U.S. expanded westward, it often led to the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the addition of new territories, which raised complex questions about the extension of citizenship and rights. This expansion also intensified debates over slavery and statehood, ultimately contributing to divisions that resulted in the Civil War. Overall, while Manifest Destiny aimed to promote democracy, it often contradicted the principles of equality and justice for all.

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. Also, this is more of a underlying factor and a personal opinion, I think that the northern population wanted to preserve the union so badly because the media had been perching manifest destiny for so long people didn't realize how bloodily and costly expansion could be. 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.
