Manifest Destiny is Fulfilled The belief that the United States, having the best government and culture in the world, had the right and duty to control all lands from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It was also based on racism, that Americans were superior to Indians and Mexicans, which meant they had the right to these lands. http://www.colorado.edu/AmStudies/lewis/west/westwardho.jpg

Questions How did President Polk avoid war with Britain over Oregon? What were the causes & result of the Mexican-American War? How was the United States able to fulfill it’s “Manifest Destiny” through the Mexican-American War?
