The “manifest of destiny” was the expression for the philosophy of the United States territorial expansion during the 19th century, the manifest said that the American were destined to domain all this territories by God himself, The missioners blazed the Oregon Trail so they were able to settle in the west. This was just once of the conquers of the Americans during that period.
