Did I answer this question right? What factors led to the Western expansion movement at this time? What other factors contributed to the movement? How has the notion of Manifest Destiny shaped the world today? Here is my answer: Fredrick Turner said that Americans were not simple different Europeans that was living in another country, instaed certain factors was the closing of the frontier thesis. From the time when the founding of this nation people have been drawn to America because of the pull westward for a new and better life. They moved across the Atlantic first, next across the Appalachians and then across the Great Plains. This was an example of the Manifest Destiny.
The reasoning that was behind the Manifest Destiny was that Americans was wanting more land. The people believed that it was their supreme right to posses their own land. When they thought of this it made them think on the level of agricultural and the industrial age that was growing, land meant resources and resources meant more power. One factor was the value that was passed down from one ancestor to another to move forward. Manifest Destiny shaped the world that is of present time. because it gave a near divine notion of America's promise and future supremecy. Because of our westward expansion, the railroads became the mainstream for our country. Did I explain this right?
First, this would have been easier to read if you'd used a space between the paragraphs.
I copied and pasted it into a word document like this:

You covered most of the points well. However, you didn't address the question about how Manifest Destiny shaped the world today.
The U.S. today includes not only the continental U.S., but also Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. This same Manifest Destiny seems to have given us the idea that we can spread our ideas all over the world.
noooooooooooo i didn't get an y info
Your response contains some important points about the factors that led to the Western expansion movement and the influence of Manifest Destiny. However, there are a few areas that can be improved for clarity and accuracy.
First, it's important to note that Frederick Jackson Turner was the historian who presented the frontier thesis, not Fredrick Turner. Additionally, the closing of the frontier thesis refers to Turner's argument that the closing of the American frontier played a fundamental role in shaping the American character and institutions. It is not directly related to the factors that led to Western expansion.
The idea of Manifest Destiny, on the other hand, was a belief that it was the destiny and duty of Americans to expand their territory from coast to coast. It was fueled by a combination of factors, including economic opportunities, the pursuit of new lands and resources, religious motivations, and a sense of American exceptionalism.
In terms of your explanation of Manifest Destiny, it is important to clarify that the belief in possessing more land was not limited to agricultural or industrial purposes, but it also encompassed various other motivations, such as spreading democracy and American values.
Moreover, while the westward expansion did play a significant role in the development of railroads, it is not accurate to say that it made railroads the mainstream for our country. Railroads were not solely a result of westward expansion but were also driven by technological advancements and economic demands.
As for the impact of Manifest Destiny on the present world, your point about the near divine notion of America's promise and future supremacy is valid, but it would be beneficial to expand on how this belief influenced American policies, foreign relations, and the perception of American identity.
In summary, while your response touches upon the key elements, it could be strengthened by providing clear and accurate explanations of the frontier thesis, Manifest Destiny, and the subsequent impact on the world today.
