Yes and No. Manifest Destiny states that the US Citizens should own all of the land in North America during the early years of the United States. The US Government now controls most of North America, so that would be a "No". However, some extremists believe that the USA should control all of the land in that the eye can see (with satellite technology, that would be the whole planet). That would be a "Yes". In reality, Manifest Destiny is a severely outdated concept and should not be applied to the current state of affairs. That would mean that "No" would be a more sensible answer.

Manifest Destiny was the belief that the general population during the early years of America held. They thought it was destined by God for America to stretch from ocean to ocean. So, the American government bought and fought for the remaining land that separated the US from the pacific, gaining land from Mexico, France, England, and a few other countries. The government used propaganda and advertising to gain the interest of the American people and convince them to move westward, thus a huge migration of people moved west in order to conquer the virgin land and complete manifest destiny.

Manifest Destiny was the term used to describe the idea in the United States, beginning in the 1840s, that the US was destined to expand from ocean to ocean and all of North America from north to south. It developed, in part, from a great surge of nationalism (patriotism) following the War of 1812, as the nation expanded west. Because of our economic and political superiority, and due to the rapid growth of our population, and because it was God's will, our superior civilization should take over the others on the continent.

There are no serious problems with no fines of which I am aware. The houses suffer from fairly poor insulation qualities and this can sometimes cause condensation depending on environmental conditions but this can be rectified by applying an external insulation. Some of them contain asbestos in various forms. Mortgage lenders will in general lend on normal terms (houses not flats) although if there is the merest hint of a problem most will require a structural engineer's report. They are in the main ex-local authority properties so suffer from a typical "low status" image but if snobbery doesn't affect you you will tend to find that they are good value for money in terms of plot and building size. I have surveyed these buildings on many occasions over the last 15 years mostly in Herts and Beds and never encountered a serious defect so far.

The manifest destiny theory was an idea that said that America was destined to rule the continent from coast to coast. This encouraged the government to expand west leading to conflicts with native Americans. This also was a big reason for the civil war as there was a debate whether slavery was to be allowed in the new states and territories out west.

This was the idea that it was clear, i.e. manifest, that the United States was destined to reach from the Atlantic to the Pacific. People who believed this idea tended to make plans under the assumption that it would come true and even to take steps to make it happen Settlers moved westward into territory owned by Spain or later Mexico with the idea that it might one day be annexed to the US. As the US became a military power in the region, people began to think about using force or at least risking the necessity of using force in order to add California and Texas and the land in between to the US. Adding Oregon was not much of stretch after the Louisiana Purchase and the treaty with Britain, ending the War of 1812 and the later treaty of 1818. The end result was that the destiny became true.
