C. It strengthened their belief in manifest destiny.
Explanation: The U.S. victory (and the Mexican Cession) expanded American territory across the continent, reinforcing the idea that the United States was destined to spread westward. It did not broadly increase appreciation of Mexican culture or sympathy for former Mexican citizens, and while the war intensified sectional conflict over slavery, it did not primarily strengthen support for the abolitionist movement.
