When considering the positive viewpoint of Manifest Destiny we are faced with four aspects of the topic, which are political, economical, moral, and factual issues. From the settlers' point of view, their democratic government was the best in the world. They also had a right given by god to spread rule of the United States to the Pacific Ocean. This was known as "sea to shining sea." The trade relations with the Indians for furs and control of water routes, in exchange for guns, powder, knives, and alcohol. Settlers paid Native Americans 15-20 cents an acre and sold to settlers for high prices. Brought by Christianity to Indians through missionaries-Whitman's. They have provided safe places to live on reservations since they couldn't support themselves among the white population. Native Americans were not good managers of their property-acquired little or no property or articles of personal property to sustain life. On the other hand, while looking at Manifest Destiny, we found that there were just as many cons as pros in the same areas as well. For instance, politically Indians had signed treaties with whites that used complicated language that Indians didn't understand. Economically, the fur trade began to die out from over trapping by trappers-no way to support themselves. Indians also sold land to buy guns and tools that they were dependant upon made by settlers. Morally, Indians were forced at gunpoint to leave their homes. They couldn't take anything with them. The Indians' property was taken from them and was sold before their eyes for almost nothing. Americans also used forced flattery force and alcohol to convince them to sign treaties. Factually, Indians didn't understand the value to white man's money. Also, in 1838 the congress passed the Indian removal act forcing Indians off their land and to move west.
