The Manifest Destiny of the United States to be a continent-wide power (Manifest Destiny for short) was the idea that was used to justify and at times to drive the expansion of the United States during the 19th Century. This was the idea that it was obvious to all (manifest) that it was the destiny of the US to encompass whatever territory was at issue at the moment.
