Manifest Destiny (1 janv. 1803 – 24 mai 2023)

Description:

"Manifest Destiny" was an early American imperialist ideal that attempted to justify american expansionism across the continent. The start date for this time period was chosen as the date of the Louisiana Purchase, although the term "Manifest Destiny" had not been coined until 1845. The end date was chosen as 2023, as US imperialism is still something that goes on today. In a book by the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1857, they characterize manifest destiny as drawing in bad reputation for the US, writing, "By their stout warfare with the prejudice of color, they have brought on themselves a long series of fearful persecutions." (Martineau, 10)
