Manifest Destiny: The Expansion of America from Sea to Shining Sea

DESCRIPTION

Manifest Destiny was the 19th-century doctrine that the United States was destined to expand across North America, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This ideology fueled westward migration, including the Oregon Trail, which stretched over 2,000 miles from the Mississippi Valley to the Pacific Northwest. The pursuit of new territories, such as Texas and California, involved key events like the Texas Revolution and the Mexican-American War. Notable figures include Sam Houston and Brigham Young, who shaped the future of these regions amidst a backdrop of opportunities and conflicts.
