Manifest Destiny, to my knowledge, is not a phrase used or applied to the US legal system.

For a discussion of this phrase as used to describe the expansion of the United States, see below link:

Wilson did use that term to indicate that the United States had an obligation to lead the free world, ie., democratic governments. But that goal was only a part of the reasons for the US entry into World War 1.

the negative result is more then half of the native population was destroyed. to the point it was genocide. the race of the native american people decreased. Loss a lifes and the stealing of land should without a doubt be a serious set-back for moral-high people.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo made the land of America bigger, and manifest destiny means that the United States had the right to add territory until it reached the Pacific Ocean (that was for the Americans/United States people).

He made the first giant step by winning independence for Texas.

Manifest destiny was the quasi-religious and patriotic idea that the Western Expansion oif the United States was a divine mandate. There are echoes of this in the Battle Hymn of the Republic which also makes favorable glances ( though the operating method is mistaken)- of telegraphy ( By the dim and flaring lamps) that is not how it operates, more like coded dots and dashes. but. The line does exist in the Bible- From age to age you gather a people unto yourself so that From East to West, a perfect Offering can be made! This probably refers to the apparent trajectory of the Sun ( that is how it was explained when I was in Sunday school- and not politics. it might be added that technology, unlike say Evolutionary science, was pretty much Okay and this was especially true of communications devices such as printing, typewriters, telegraphy, radio, etc as these could be ( and are) used to spread the gospel. The Manifest Destiny concept is- for all intensive purposes , obsolete and somewhat unpopular. The British favored similar ideas with their Empire activities in civilizing backward countries as a ripple effect of colonialism, which is another subject.

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. In 1845, John L. O’Sullivan wrote an article about the annexation of Texas and first used the term, manifest destiny. The idea was revived toward the end of the 1800’s during the Spanish-American War, and also led to the the US becoming an imperialistic nation at the turn of the century.

Yes, that was the whole idea of Manifest Destiny: that it was the right and destiny of the US to expand west across the entire continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific, no matter what we had to do to who or whose rights we had to step on to accomplish that destiny.

The idea that it was the manifest (or clear and obvious) destiny of the United States to encompass all land between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans encouraged people to move west and settle lands held by Native Americans. It encouraged military acquisitions of land such as resulted from the Mexican War, and direct land purchase. It was also used to advocate for annexation of part or all of Mexico and for intervention in the Cuban Insurrection.

Beginning in 1830, Native Americans were forced to give up their land east of the Mississippi River.

Manifest Destiny was a term used in the 19th century to describe a policy of imperialism rationalized as inevitable, as if granted by God. Many people used manifest destiny to express their beliefs that the united states destiny was to expand to the Pacific ocean and into Mexican territory.

The united states was unique in the world as a democracy of people from many different nations

Imperialism is the tendency of any state to create an empire, including non-European ones. It generally includes colonialism, the difference being the extent and sophistication of the political organizations controlled. British control over India and South Africa were both part of British imperialism, although it is called colonialism with regard to South Africa because of the nature of the political structures there. Manifest Destiny was the rationale behind a particular period of American Imperialism or colonialism, the drive to extend the borders of the United States westward in the early to mid nineteenth century. But the ideology which drove it, the idea that the United States had a God-given right to expand and control whatever parts of the world it wanted, has always been and still remains fundamental to American imperialism. A similar arrogance underlies all empire-building states.

The colonist started the war

the westward expansion was hard.

The 1836 Battle of the Alamo had nothing to do with the Mexican War, which occurred 10 years later. The United States was NOT involved with the Alamo. The Alamo was part of the TEXAS war for INDEPENDENCE FROM MEXICO. Texas actually became it's own country. That why Texans are so proud of their LONE STAR Flag! After a few years of being a free republic, Texas decided on joining the the United States, and applied for statehood.
