Take a short bus from the Atlantic Ocean, starting at Hampton Beach, to the Pacific Ocean in California. The idea of Manifest Destiny is a belief that many had in the 1800's that it was the Americans God given right to unite one coast to the other.

Get the ManifestDestiny mug."Manifest Destiny" was the social theory in the USA in the 19th century which claimed that the USA and its white, Christian citizens were chosen by God. Because of this "choosing" they were entitled to any land they pleased, despite who already owned it (not limited to Native Americans; also including other countries), with the purpose being that they spread their religion of Christianity and their concept of "civilization" to the other, "inferior", people of the world.
"Manifest Destinty, another "great" idea straight out of the U.S. like Mc.Donalds and Freedom Fries George W. Bush is attempting to bring it back"

Get the Manifest Destiny mug.Take manifest destiny, and apply it to filling up a hard drive, so that you get something like "downloading stuff (such as movies) because you have the space and/or you were meant to.
"My mom looked at me inquisitively and asked, 'Why do you need a new hard drive?' I replied, 'Hard drive manifest destiny.'"

Get the hard drive manifest destiny mug.A half-baked thoery that the USA could do as the fuck it liked. In practise, it got land and the begginings of an empire by paying for it before it started a revolution against the European powers that owned it. When the USA did try and annex Canada, a small number of the British army and a few thousand Canadians beat off the United States, leaving ti with the option of the treaty of Ghent, which didn't give them any land concessions (as opposed to the British-Canadian forces, which never intended to make any, so handed back all taken land without grudge) nor did it make either side any richer. As a courtesy, the Royal navy ended impressing.
When the united states wanted to start an empire, it went after a weakened spanish empire, which was on the brink of freeing itself. When the USA again attempted imperialism in south america, it was having a little trouble with fallen power Spain, so decided to pay $20,000,000 to buy a few POS nations that would have revolted in a few years anyway. Wow, isn't that clever? Obviously, these places have since gained independance. Quite possibly the worst empire ever...
