Before this book first appeared in 1963, most historians wrote as
if the continental expansion of the United States were inevitable.
"What is most impressive," Henry Steele Commager and Richard Morris
declared in 1956, "is the ease, the simplicity, and seeming
inevitability of the whole process." The notion of inevitability,
however, is perhaps only a secular variation on the theme of the
expansionist editor John L. O'Sullivan, who in 1845 coined one of
the most famous phrases in American history when he wrote of "our
manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence
for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions."
Frederick Merk rejected inevitability in favor of a more contingent
interpretation of American expansionism in the 1840s. As his
student Henry May later recalled, Merk "loved to get the facts
straight." -From the Foreword by John Mack Faragher
