Question

Which of the following are effects of the philosophy of Manifest Destiny?

I. The United States forcibly relocated Native Americans.

II. The United States annexed Texas.

III. The United States invaded Canadian lands held by France.

Answer 1

Answer:

I.

Explanation:

Reason: "Manifest Destiny, a phrase coined in 1845, is the idea that the United States is destined—by God, its advocates believed—to expand its dominion and spread democracy and capitalism across the entire North American continent. 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"

Answer 2

Answer:

I and II

Explanation:

Manifest Destiny was the belief that the United States should expand "from sea to shining sea." To make lands available for settlement by citizens, the federal government thought it was necessary to relocate Native Americans. Additionally, the United States allowed Texas to join the Union. Thus, statements I and II are correct.
