“[It was] a term for the attitude prevalent during the 19th century period of American expansion that the United States not only could, but was destined to, stretch from coast to coast. This attitude helped fuel western settlement, Native American removal, and war with Mexico. It expressed the belief that it was Americans’ God-given mission to expand their civilization and institutions across the breadth of North America. This expansion would involve not merely territorial enlargement but the progress of liberty and economic opportunity as well.”
