Manifest Destiny

Manifest Destiny was purely the idea of the Americas expanding over the land. As you can assume the land before the fact was not just empty. Before the people of today's time there were Indians. More often than not Indians were forced away or ran off. This was in now way fair for the Indians but in many situations they had not other option but to leave. The idea of manifest destiny was a doctrine explaining that the expansion of the U.S. Was inevitable and justified. This is very arguable when you bring the Indians into the idea. One other idea of the exploration and conquering was that expanding of the culture of the United States. With the United States expanding many can argue that traditions were done away with or destructed. Some will purely say that tradition and ways of life were just expanded. Which ever you may believe the same problem occurs. The fact that Indians were pushed away defenseless still comes up. Indians had no other choice but to turn and run. These are all intertwined with manifest destiny.
