Answer 2

The phrase “manifest destiny” suggested that expansion across the American continent was obvious, inevitable, and a divine right of the United States. Manifest destiny was used by Democrats in the 1840s to justify the war with Mexico.

Step-by-step explanation:

The philosophy drove 19th-century U.S. territorial expansion and was used to justify the forced removal of Native Americans and other groups from their homes. The rapid expansion of the United States intensified the issue of slavery as new states were added to the Union, leading to the outbreak of the Civil War

There are three basic themes to manifest destiny:

The special virtues of the American people and their institutions.The mission of the United States to redeem and remake the west in the image of the agrarian East.An irresistible destiny to accomplish this essential duty.
