John Tyler, the 10th President of the United States (1841-1845), played a significant role in the era of Manifest Destiny, a belief that the expansion of the U.S. across the American continents was both justified and inevitable. Though his presidency was marked by political challenges, Tyler strongly supported the annexation of Texas, viewing it as a means to expand U.S. territory and influence. His push for Texas's admission into the Union reflected the prevailing sentiment of Manifest Destiny, despite the contentious debates over slavery and its implications for the nation.
