This exploration delves into how the geography of the Southern United States shaped its stance on federal policies regarding the availability of western lands. The Southern landscape, characterized by its rivers, agriculture, and strategic position, influenced regional perspectives on expansion. Furthermore, the concept of Manifest Destiny, which embodies America's perceived mission to expand across the continent, intertwines with these geographic considerations. This mindset reflects not only a belief in America’s destined growth but also a moral obligation to spread democracy and freedom.
