Was fulfilling our manifest destiny a glorious American achievement or an American tragedy?

Answer:
It was most definitely an achievement! Most media will tell you manifest destiny means expanding America from sea to shining sea but there is so much more to it than that. When the founders talked about manifest destiny they were referring to the destiny to be "an example and a blessing to the entire human race." - Cleon Skousen, The 5000 Year Leap
America was meant to spread from sea to shining sea in order to be an example and a blessing. However, today America is no longer fulfilling it's destiny.
