Manifest Destiny

This exploration delves into the complex interplay of race, identity, and territorial expansion during America's formative years. It examines the ideologies behind Manifest Destiny, including the economic subordination of “colored races” and the enforcement of racial hierarchies that united European immigrants as "White." Key figures like Tecumseh and cultural movements are highlighted, showcasing early immigrant experiences as both religious and economic refugees. The analysis includes the impact of the Monroe Doctrine, the significance of land cessions, and the dynamics of Native American identity in response to encroachment and colonization.
