Manifest Destiny

Manifest Destiny Idea that America was destined to control all land between Atlantic and Pacific Oceans God wanted the US to control all the land Supported idea that America was special

Motivations for Manifest Destiny Cheap land So much land, it is not very expensive Valuable Natural Resources Start new life Escape prior issues in life (debt, crime)

Oregon America had gotten Oregon territory from Spain United States and Britain had agreed to share control of Oregon Tensions over control were bound to happen

Discussion What is Manifest Destiny? What would make Americans believe in Manifest Destiny? How would the belief in Manifest Destiny impact our relations with countries? (how would other countries view us because we think this way?)

Life in Oregon Oregon was the furthest point away from civilization Not many people lived there and those who did needed to use survival skills Mountain men: people who explored the west and lived off the land and fur trading in Oregon.

Oregon Trail More and more people began traveling west to find better opportunities Oregon Trail: trail to Oregon territory that took travelers through the mountainous west Journey was rough and many struggled to survive.

Election of 1844 Democrat James K. Polk (Jackson copy) vs. Whig Henry Clay (again…) Polk was a “dark horse” (an unknown) Big Issue: Westward Expansion (Polk supports) Polk’s Promises: “54⁰ 40⁰ or Fight!” Settle Oregon border conflict with Britain Annex Texas (make it part of country) Take over California and southwest Polk wins the election

Reflection Is Manifest Destiny a good thing for America or do you predict there will be issues?
