As the population of the 13 colonies grew and the economy
developed, the desire to expand into new land increased.
Nineteenth-century Americans believed it was their divine right to
expand their territory from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific.
"Manifest destiny," a phrase first used in 1839 by journalist John
O'Sullivan, embodied the belief that God had given the people of
the United States a mission to spread a republican democracy across
the continent. Advocates of manifest destiny were determined to
carry out their mission and instigated several wars, including the
war with Mexico to win much of what is now the southwestern United
States. In Manifest Destiny: Westward Expansion, learn how this
philosophy to spread out across the land shaped our nation.
