Many Americans felt justified in expanding U.S. influence due to a belief in Manifest Destiny, the idea that it was the nation's divine right and destiny to expand across the continent. This sentiment was fueled by a sense of cultural superiority, as many viewed American democracy and capitalism as models for the world. Additionally, economic interests and the desire for new markets and resources motivated expansionist policies, reinforcing the perception that spreading U.S. influence was beneficial not only for America but also for other nations.
