Americans justified their quest for more land through the belief in Manifest Destiny, the idea that it was their divine right and duty to expand across the continent. They argued that expansion would spread democracy and civilization, often viewing indigenous populations as obstacles to progress. Economic motivations, such as the search for resources and opportunities for farming and settlement, also played a significant role in their justification. This mindset led to the displacement of Native American tribes and conflicts with other nations.
