Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Manifest destiny was the belief that it was the divine mission of the United States to spread its influence and civilization across North America. This belief led to the westward expansion of the US and the acquisition of new territories, such as Texas, California, and Oregon, through force and diplomacy. It was not specifically about democracy, slavery, or industrialization, although these issues were often intertwined with the expansion of the US.
