This is my last question for tonight I promise. History and me don't go together because they use words that I don't understand. What does this mean in simpler terms and i don't understand what it means by Free Soil Jacksonians and settle the American West to expand control over all of north america from the atlantic ocean to the Pacific.

Manifest Destiny
This was the belief that Americans had a destiny to settle the American West and to expand control over all of North America from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. The Free Soil Jacksonians, notably Martin Van Buren, however, argued for limitations on expansion to avoid the expansion of slavery within the Union. The Whigs generally opposed Manifest Destiny and expansion, saying the nation should build up its cities.

The Free Soil Jacksonians wanted people who would settle west of the original 13 colonies to get free land and not use slaves.

At that time, the United States only included the eastern part of what is now the whole country. Those who wanted people to go and live in the American West. In this way, the U.S. would control enormous amounts of land and mineral wealth.

In simpler terms, Manifest Destiny was the idea that it was the destiny or fate of the American people to move westward and expand their control over the entire North American continent, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. It was a belief that this expansion was not only beneficial but also necessary for the United States to fulfill its potential.

The Free Soil Jacksonians were a political group led by Martin Van Buren who supported the idea of settling the American West but with certain limitations. They argued against the expansion of slavery within the United States and believed that new territories should be kept free from slavery. They wanted to ensure that the West would be a place where all people, regardless of race, could live and work freely.

On the other hand, the Whigs, another political party of the time, generally opposed Manifest Destiny and the idea of westward expansion. They believed that the nation should focus on developing its cities and infrastructure rather than spreading out and acquiring more land.

So in simple terms, Manifest Destiny was the belief that America had a destiny to expand westward and control the entire continent, while the Free Soil Jacksonians wanted to settle the West but without allowing the expansion of slavery, and the Whigs thought the nation should focus on building up its cities instead.
