Introduction to Manifest Destiny
Introduction to Manifest Destiny is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 1: Manifest Destiny and the Growing Nation in History Alive! - The United States Through Industrialism.
Key Concepts
In the 1840s, a powerful idea swept across the United States. Many Americans came to believe it was their nation's 'manifest destiny' to expand its borders all the way to the Pacific Ocean. They felt it was an obvious and unavoidable mission to spread American ideals and ways of life across the continent.
This belief fueled a strong desire for more land and pushed the nation westward. To achieve this goal, the U.S. government used diplomacy to settle border disputes. For example, leaders from the United States and Great Britain negotiated to officially establish the border of Maine, adding new territory to the growing country.
