Manifest Destiny
Manifest destiny was a cultural belief in the 19th-century United States that American settlers were destined to expand across North America. There were three basic tenets to the concept:
- The special virtues of the American people and their institutions
- The mission of the United States to redeem and remake the West in the image of the agrarian East
- An irresistible destiny to accomplish this essential duty (Wikipedia)
