Manifest Destiny

Manifest Destiny is the idea of Americas expanding over the land. Only the land that was expanded on was not empty. Indians were there long before the people that are here today. The Indians were forced to leave their land. I do not know how his could even be considered as fair because their only option was to leave. The idea of manifest destiny was a doctrine explaining that the expansion of the U.S. was inevitable and justified. Now this is very debatable because of what happened to the Indians. Another idea of Manifest Destiny is the exploration and conquering of the expanding culture of the United States. The United States expanding caused traditions to no longer be around for some cultures or even destroyed. Although some will purely say that tradition and culture were just expanded. Which ever you think is true still causes conflict. The point that Indians were forced away from their homes still is brought up. The Indians had no choice but to move or they would be killed.These thoughts are included in the Manifest Destiny theme.
