Manifest Destiny - belief that the U.S. had the right to all the land between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its WayEmanuel Gottlieb Leutze, 1860
This painting shows Manifest Destiny as a religious belief that the United States should expand from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean in the name of God. In 1872 artist John Gast painted a popular scene of people moving west that captured the view of Americans at the time. Called "Spirit of the Frontier“, the painting portrays settlers moving west, guided and protected by a goddess-like figure of Columbia and aided by technology (railways, telegraphs), driving away Native Americans and bison in the process. It is also important to note that angel is bringing the "light" as witnessed on the eastern side of the painting as she travels towards the "darkened" west.
Election of 1844
