Is written in the stars and manifest destiny the same
No, "Written in the stars" and "Manifest Destiny" are not the same concept.
"Written in the stars" is a phrase often used to express the idea that certain events or outcomes are predetermined or fated by some higher power or cosmic plan. It suggests that the course of events is determined and cannot be changed.
On the other hand, "Manifest Destiny" is a historical belief or ideology that originated in the 19th century in the United States. It was the idea that expansion across the American continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean was destined and inevitable, driven by a higher purpose or divine providence. It encouraged the territorial expansion of the United States and the spreading of American principles of democracy and capitalism.
