Answer 1

Answer: The phrase Manifest Destiny signified the conviction that the superior institutions and culture of the United States gave Americans a God-given right, even an obligation, to spread their civilization across the entire continent. This sense of uniqueness and mission was a legacy of early Puritan utopianism, the republicanism of the Revolutionary Era, and seemingly evidenced by economic and political success. Americans felt westward expansion would extend opportunities and stability to more peoples across a wider domain.

Answer 2

Answer: The region from the Louisiana Territory to the Rocky Mountains in the North and across the continent to California in the South belonged first to Spain and, after 1821, to an independent Mexico. North of California to Alaska was the Oregon Territory, jointly occupied by the United States and Britain. As early as 1811, the fur trade attracted Americans to Oregon. In the Southwest, Americans traded along the Santa Fe Trail in 1821 to New Mexico and moved into Texas for cotton planting during the 1820s. Some American merchants and traders also settled in California during the 1820s and 1830s.
