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: -The ideology of Manifest Destiny inspired a variety of measures designed to remove or destroy the native population. US President James K. Polk (1845-1849) is the leader most associated with Manifest Destiny. Manifest Destiny inflamed sectional tensions over slavery, which ultimately led to the Civil War.
Detailed explanation-3: -Manifest Destiny, simply put, was the belief that Americans had the divine right to settle all throughout America, until the Pacific Ocean. This was caused by Americans feeling that it was the will of God that they tame the wilderness and civilize the west, and remake it in the image of the 13 colonies.
