Manifest Destiny and Western Expansion

Native Americans in the West

Manifest Destiny was the 19th-century belief that the expansion of the United States across the American continents was both justified and inevitable. This ideology fueled westward migration, particularly to Texas and California, driven by factors such as the desire for land, economic opportunities, and the search for new resources. Key events leading to this migration included the annexation of Texas in 1845, the subsequent Texas Revolution, and the Gold Rush of 1849, which attracted thousands seeking wealth and new beginnings. These movements were often marked by conflict with Native American populations and tensions with Mexico.

The americans support the manifest destiny

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.

under the magna carta the us was currently Britain's and was a british colony.... but the us was really trying to expand on its on since it was freed by the declaration of independence. so Britain was of course angry because us was buying from their allies and were expanding to become a political power of the world.

The combination of nationalism and evangelicalism with the hunger for more land contributed to the concept. Manifest Destiny was the belief that American settlers were predestined to reach and settle their way west to the ocean.
