Manifest Destiny is an idea used to express that white settlers are destined by God to expand their territories westwards, spread their ideologies on the land, and put leverages on the Indigenous peoples. Manifest Destiny not only resulted in war with Mexico during the mid-19th century, but in relocation and brutal massacre and mistreatment of the Indigenous peoples, Hispanic, and other non-Europeans, such as afro-descendants, who resided in the territories now occupied by the United States.[1]
