The goal of manifest destiny was to expand America's borders. This concept emerged in the 19th century, fueled by the belief that the United States was destined to stretch from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. It was seen as a divine mission to spread democracy, civilization, and American values across the continent. The idea of manifest destiny was used to justify the territorial expansion of the United States, which involved acquiring land from various sources, including Native American tribes, Mexico, and settling pioneers moving westward.
