The belief that Americans had a God-given right to expand across the continent from the East Coast to the West Coast is known as Manifest Destiny. This 19th-century doctrine held that it was the divine mission of the United States to spread democracy and civilization. It was used to justify westward expansion, often at the expense of Native American lands and cultures. Manifest Destiny reflected a sense of American exceptionalism and fueled territorial acquisitions, such as the annexation of Texas and the Oregon Trail migration.
