Answer 2

The concept of Manifest Destiny was often framed by its proponents as being divinely ordained, suggesting that it was America's God-given right to expand its territory across the continent. However, this belief can be critically examined, as it often justified the displacement of Native American populations and the aggressive expansionist policies that led to significant suffering and conflict, raising moral questions about the righteousness of such claims.
