How was the manifest destiny of the 1840s-particularly the expansion into Texas and Mexico- related to the sectional conflict over slavery?
The manifest destiny of the 1840s, particularly the expansion into Texas and Mexico, intensified sectional conflict over slavery by raising the question of whether new territories would be free or slave-holding. The annexation of Texas, a slave state, and the subsequent Mexican-American War led to disputes over the extension of slavery into new lands, fueling tensions between the North and South. This conflict ultimately contributed to the emergence of the Republican Party and heightened divisions that would culminate in the Civil War. Thus, manifest destiny not only signified a belief in American expansion but also exacerbated the already volatile issue of slavery in the United States.
