They viewed the expansion as a way to promote liberty and progress, rather than subjugating foreign peoples. Advocates contended that the expansion would benefit both the U.S. and the territories acquired, fostering economic growth and cultural exchange instead of imperial domination. This perspective framed expansion as a moral obligation rather than a quest for power or territory for its own sake.
