Detailed explanation-1: -The philosophy drove 19th-century U.S. territorial expansion and was used to justify the forced removal of Native Americans and other groups from their homes. The rapid expansion of the United States intensified the issue of slavery as new states were added to the Union, leading to the outbreak of the Civil War.
Detailed explanation-2: -After the US defeated Mexico they acquired a lot of new land, the North wanted it to be free, but the south wanted it to be slave and this sparked many new debates.
Detailed explanation-3: -New territories gave the country access to greater natural resources and the Pacific trade. But the acquisition of new territories also revived the debate over slavery and its expansion, an issue that would lead to the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861.
Detailed explanation-4: -A complex mix of political, social, and economic factors fueled American expansionist sentiment in the 1840s. Many Americans subscribed to the concept of “Manifest Destiny, ” the belief that Providence preordained the United States to occupy as much land on the continent as possible.
