a) Manifest Destiny was the idea that the United States was meant by God and history to expand across North America, bringing its laws, culture, and “progress,” even if that meant taking land from others.
b) One specific reason it emerged in the 1840s was rapid population growth and demand for cheap farmland and new markets, which pushed many Americans to move west and support territorial expansion.
c) Difference: Manifest Destiny in the 1840s was a national, government-backed belief in continental expansion; 1600s colonists were usually motivated more by private profit or religious freedom, not a broad national mission.
