Manifest Destiny was a 19th-century belief that American settlers were destined to expand across North America. The term was coined in 1845 by journalist John O’Sullivan. The ideology of Manifest Destiny included:
– The belief that white Americans were inherently superior
– The belief that God destined white Americans to conquer North America
– The justification of extreme measures to remove the native population from the land
Manifest Destiny was a significant factor in the colonialism of 19th century North America.
