Marcus Garvey is historically linked to the "Back to Africa" movement that encouraged the repatriation of slave descendants, and black solidarity within a unified Africa.
Marcus Garvey (1887-1940) was born in Jamaica and travelled widely examining the status of blacks in Europe and America. He decided that they could only achieve parity with whites by uniting under their African heritage. He was a major leader in the Pan-African Movement, and also supported the continued colonization of Liberia in Africa. His movement of "African Redemption" became known as Garveyism, and was one basis for the Rastafari religious movement, where he is revered as a prophet.

How did Americans justify westward expansion?
Manifest Destiny, or the belief that it was American's God-given-right/responsibility to expand the United States boarders from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It was used to urge the annexation of Texas and to encourage American settlement of European colonial and Indian lands in the west to build the American Empire. People moved west because there was rich land for farming, opportunities for business or self advancement, politicians could make a name for themselves in places that are underdeveloped and could gain a seat in the House or the Senate easier than if they were in New England, it was a place for fugitives to start a new life, and of course, there was the thought to expand slavery. There were also very high birth rates and increased immigration, better trade for maritime merchants, and slaves could have their freedom in the western territories. And last but not least, the gold rush started in California in the late 1940s.
