A proposito di questo titolo
Manifest Destiny and the Road to War | 1837 to 1848.
Following the tumultuous Age of Jackson, the United States turned its gaze westward with an almost feverish intensity. Fueled by a new national ideology called Manifest Destiny—the belief that the U.S. was divinely ordained to stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific—the nation began to push its boundaries with diplomatic maneuvering and military force.
This era saw the successful, though controversial, annexation of Texas, the formal establishment of the Oregon boundary, and ultimately, a war with Mexico that would redraw the continental map.
Yet, every square mile of new territory intensified the national debate over slavery, making the dream of continental expansion a nightmare that hastened the arrival of the Civil War.
