Answer:

It´s the Manifest Destiny.

Step-by-step explanation:

This doctrine drove relentless American expansion westward during the 19th century. It states that conquering the lands west of its borders and reaching the shores of the Pacific Ocean (thus expanding the country from coast to coast) was God´s will, a natural right of the United States.
