Manifest Destiny has been probably the most influential ideologies in American background, serving seeing that the justification for the country’s territorial growth in the antebellum period. She explores how American expansionism developed from its colonial roots and accompanying notions of exceptionalism to become completely articulated rationale in the 1840s for growing the country’s borders and seizing lands from Native People in america and Mexico and afterwards from Cuba and Central America. In this compelling collection, Amy Greenberg targets the public, cultural and political context that provided rise to Manifest Destiny. Docs — which includes diary and personal narratives, letters, political speeches, modern illustrations, newspaper accounts, essays, appeals, and a melody — highlight the foundation of the word itself, ideological support and rejection of Manifest Destiny, and the voices of these most painfully suffering from American growth. Headnotes, a chronology and bibliography additional support students within their study of the development in American international policy.
