NOTES: What Caused Manifest Destiny? Fill in your guided notes as we discuss!

Defining Manifest Destiny No nation ever existed without some sense of national destiny or purpose. In the 1800’s, Americans started to believe that westward expansion (settling land west of the Mississippi River) was our nation’s destiny. People started to use the phrase “Manifest (obvious) Destiny” as a way to describe the desire to expand the U.S. all the way to the Pacific Ocean.

Check your Understanding: Key Term! According to Americans in the 1800’s, what was our manifest destiny?

Geographic Cause for Manifest Destiny In 1803, Thomas Jefferson expanded the geographic territory of the United States through the Louisiana Purchase— the territory west of the Mississippi River, formerly a French colonial region, was now the property of the United States. By the mid-1800s, America’s Manifest Destiny had been fulfilled. See the map 

America Fulfills its Destiny

Political Cause of Manifest Destiny The people of the United States felt it was their political mission, their duty, to extend the "boundaries of freedom" by spreading civilization and democracy across the continent. Americans believed that democracy was the best form of government. They also believed that the innovations of the Industrial Revolution had improved their lives and the wanted to spread that technology into new parts of the nation.

Check your Understanding of Key Ideas! What was the Louisiana Purchase? What did Americans want to spread across the continent? Why?

Economic Causes for Manifest Destiny Americans also had economic interests in spreading westward. For many Americans, owning land represented wealth, independence, and freedom. Expansion into the west would bring opportunities for white Americans to improve their lives and expand their wealth through farming or by finding gold.

Economic Causes for Manifest Destiny American merchants also wanted to settle the west coast and build new ports—this would give them the advantage of trading across the Pacific with countries in Asia!

Check your Understanding! In the boxes below, draw a visual image to represent each of the economic causes for Manifest Destiny.  

Social Causes for Manifest Destiny There were also social reasons for westward expansion. The Industrial Revolution had led to rapid urbanization and a huge growth in population. The U.S. population had grown from 5 million, in 1800, to 23 million by 1850! The overcrowded cities could not accommodate the exploding populations; so many Americans sought their fortunes by traveling west and settling in the wide open land.

Check your Understanding! How did the Industrial Revolution encourage Manifest Destiny?
