Best Answer

Manifest Destiny was a belief in the 1830s and 1840s that the "divine right" of the US was to expand westward toward the Pacific Ocean and conquer the entire continent (unoccupied except by the native tribes). This, of course, actually occurred, at least partly as a result of political pressure to follow this assumption.

It was used by people who claimed it was "God's will" for the U.S to expand all the way to the Pacific Ocean. (Manifest destiny meaning obvious fate.)

Manifest Destiny (or obvious fate), was to settle land all the way to the Pacific Ocean in order to spread democracy.
