Manifest DestinyThis expression was popular in the 1840s. Many people believed that the U.S. was destined to secure territory from "sea to sea," from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. This rationale drove the acquisition of territory.

The Manifest Destiny influenced Sectionalism by being against each other. They were Promoting the good of one region over that of others.
