Two dominant themes in American history from 1607-1861 are Manifest Destiny, Slavery. There are others but these had the biggest impact on how our country turned out today. Without these things our country would not be like it is today. Manifest Destiny is where the American settlers moved a d claimed new land. The Americans said that it was gods plan for them to take all of this land. The U.S. gained over half the country with this movement making it a huge deal. When the U.S. got all this land it led to even more disagreements with the north and the south so they passed a law that said you have to have a free state for every slave state. Slavery is terrible thing that the south greatly impacted the souths side daily lives. Slavery is a huge reason why the south and north don't really like each other. Slavery is also a main reason that the civil war was started. Most people who were against slavery lived in the north and the south was mostly for slavery due to the fact that it helped them so much. If the south did not have slavery they would become poor. This a also a reason the south loved slavery so much.
These two dominant themes in American history ,Manifest destiny and Slavery, have had the biggest impact on the American people because they change this country was worked.
