- The idea of Manifest Destiny was a major factor in westward expansion in the United States in the 1800s. This video will introduce you to the meaning of the phrase as you explore a primary source by John O'Sullivan and examine the painting "American Progress" by John Gast. You'll also understand the consequences of Manifest Destiny and the impact it had on different groups of people in the 1800s.

Straight up insane mindset
It's based is what it is. The US is the #1 superpower
Old American mindsets were insane to sweep across a plain destroying everything in sight to build your home is so alien! Great video! Continue to shed light on history! when I was taught in school they made it seem like just a few Indians were scooted over, no harm done.
What do u think u live in lol
@@iamweare8687oh my god this is the most braindead stupid take that people like u always regurgitate to defend the some of the worst atrocities & genocides in history, “you live in society therefore you cannot criticize it” is middle schooler level logic. I just know probably believe so much stupid & completely historically & factually unfounded white supremacist apologia like that the civil war was really just about “states rights” & not slavery & also that the founding fathers (who r@ped their female slaves & did demonically horrific shit like how George washington’s dentures were actually made with teeth ripped out of a slaves mouth) were all just “products of their time” who didn’t know any better & that you can’t really blame them because supposedly no one back the was any better or different, despite the fact that centuries before the American revolution there had already existed people during the time of Columbus who were strongly anti slavery & accurately viewed it as, unlike you clearly don’t, the indefensible & extremely evil inhumane crime against humanity that it is.

This was so damn well explained, even the discription and interpretation of the painting, amazing thanks!
Your note made my day! Thank you so much!
Manifest destiny for all the races pushed away will now return to our rightful place.
In other words. They used God as an excuse to steal land
That is pretty much the entire story of the human race.
From who?
The "natives" didnt have the concept of land ownership...
Stealing is the act of taking what belongs to someone else...
The "natives" themselves said that nobody owns the land...
obviously after they abandoned their sacred view of the world once they learned the "evil ways" of the "white man" they immediately tried to retroactively claim it...i guess green is the only color that matters...
Dear God..& “he gave his only son to die for our sins!!!”😢
If everyone would read the Bible as it was intended, they would see that most of the stuff that many of the wealthy people have attributed to do because of religion and religion is not God that’s a whole separate thing God in richest peoples lives is everything religion distort itmakes it their own
The land was owned by no one.
Thank you so much for this, it was very helpful, informative and concise!
Thank you so much for your kind words! :)
This is a good presentation of American Expansion westward. It brings up many questions with European migration to the Americas and the confiscation of land from the indigenous Native Americans. In addition, there was enslavement of millions of African captives who were brought to the Americas to work for and to enrich a few European immigrants. In school we were taught Manifest Destiny justify European conquest and settlement of the American continent, while ignoring the killing and displacing of Native Americans. Yet would we want our homeland to be confiscated from us by force of arms? Then given to and owned by immigrants from the Europe? How would we feel if those same European immigrants then brought African captives to work on the land stolen from us? Such self serving barbarity. Is this not Manifest Destiny? Yes, it is.
Yeah but one of the craziest parts is that we have people in the 21st century coming up with all sorts of ideas to try and justify this. And then they complain about illegal immigration and use the analogy of people coming into your home uninvited and "invading" when their ancestors did the same. And they don't admit it, in 2024, crazy times we live in!
I loved this from the music to the vice to the explanation. Well done!
Thank you so much! :)
Loved the content.
Thank you I have this for history (somehow history is really hard for me no matter how much I study) and you even added a bonus for me 😊: we have paintings that we have to analyze and “manifest Destiny” was one of them :)
Your note made my day!! I'm so happy to hear that this video was helpful to you and I wish you the best of luck in your studies! :)
amazing explaination! thanks!!
The music in the beginning of this video has the same starting melody as Concerning Hobbits, the opening song in Lord of the Rings, which is played any time throughout the trilogy where hobbits are on screen and uplifting music is in order. Came here for school and then got smacked hard in the feels!
huge help thank you very much
Thank you for your comment! :)
Wow amazing Video this helped me so much thank you!😍

This was nice and simple
Very easy to understand
Thank you!!
Thank you so much!
Thanks
Was it manifest because people in the east would obviously have to walk west else they would walk into the Atlantic Ocean (east)?
OMG YOUR SLAYING

And now we're gonna give it all up because we're being guilt-tripped out of it.
How does the Manifest Destiny idea still influence society today?
It inspired Germans to do stuff during 1930's. Lebensraum, look it up.
Our wars are fueled by the idea that we should force democracy on other countries. I personally believe this is a good thing but we’re forcing our will. I do not like war but we should all be free as human beings. We also influence with our culture or with propaganda that could be used against Russia, China or other federalist states. I’ve learned recently that American culture is absolutely everywhere and we influence the world in ways that no American would ever guess. It’s manifest destiny but we don’t take any land. Which is honorable in a way. To me at least. It has pros and cons of course.
It’s inspiring Israel in Palestine today
An expand they did!
A comment. For engagement.
We should have asked our selves Are We the Baddies.
you should not ask yourseves anything. You are the Baddies, yes, and everybody knows that
is this a push or pull
nevermind it’s a pull factor 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
They use it also in japan but japan is a independent thriving country not a colony
independent? :))) Japan is occupied by the US, nothing independent there
manifest destiny is the greatest example of american entitlement, they had no regard for the nations already thriving in the land. in my memory teachers never seemed to convey the idea that it wasn’t just a couple “tribes” but in fact half of a continent of nations with developed land and infrastructure. to me it holds the same sentiment we’ve held throughout history being it’s our apparent right and responsibility to “protect” the world from “dangerous” ideas i.e. anything different from our own. the reservations of today are an insult to the people whose land we’ve raped and pillaged for centuries. reservations are intentionally placed in inferior and low quality land forcing the people to rely on the american food supply and resources. our corporations have poisoned fishing communities, and dumped toxic sludge in the lands of the indigenous people for decades. making the national parks the property of the government making it illegal to hunt and fish was robbing the native nations from their long standing respectful and sustainable relationship with the land and animals and plants. and now international trade and the spread of capitalism has spread the disease of the american way. manifest destiny is a disgusting fucking sentiment and i despise this american brand of patriotic ownership of the land that we abuse this land is not my land or your land it was made for the human beings we hunted and scalped for sport and bounty. driving through the dirty car centric concrete wasteland of modern america leaves a foul taste in my mouth. education is important and we all need to learn about the vast european-american genocides of this land.
This is how humans are. we spread until territorial conflicts arise. There is no right or wrong. Europeans were far more developed and organized than the tribes dwelling there. they took the opportunity and settled to build a functioning society. and some of those moral justifications were their believe for being destined to conquer this land. I mean they did that pretty easily.
Blaming the conscious of former settlers, for wanting to settle in new territory, for late stage capitalism, that rules in almost every corner of the world isn't going to cut it. Corporate greed and exploitism of todays standards was nobodies intention and is hurting everybody, no matter their view on this subject.
Truth is: hadn't europeans touched the native land, there would be no sings of infrastructure or law. Who really knows if this was the better option.
plus, yada yada yada... genocides caused by territorial conflicts have happened EVERYWHERE in the world. intristingly its only ever bad when euros do it.
we live in a society.
You suffer from presentism
If the natives would have stopped killing, raiding and conquering each other in the late 18th century, they could have stopped the expansion. As you are not wrong when you say American "entitlement" every nation has had that mindset. I do believe that what our forefathers did was wrong. But show me a people's history, including native American, that isn't just like ours. We need to look at all history honestly.
Yes, you put it very well: "American entitlement."
The United States would not rest.
Till we'd reached the end of our quest.
It had burned like a fire, more lands to acquire.
Was it our destiny, manifest????
Mexico's strength was then tested.
Many lands from her clutches were wrested.
Was it fair to provoke
Such a war, as did Polk?
Was it our destiny, manifested??????

How about focusing on things for the greater good. All I see about this type of stuff is very selfish based desires.

reminds of Israel and nazi Germany. It is actually the same ideology
Back when America was great.
Wow now i see where Israel got the idea 🤔
The people that expanded the US in North America were brave and daring .How many of you today can settle to an adventure like they did?They had to face the unknown .Some of them stole land from the natives but others bought it fare and square.Just like in Israel and Palestine(where a lot of the land that today is Israel was bought for huge sums of money).But the hypocritical part is this :those who are attacking those settlers today are profiting from what those men and women have achieved in the past.:the American civilisation.If those people were evil ,racist and other things why are you still living in America on the lands they conquered!?Go to another country were the land was not stolen and things like that.The only thing that I do not like about that painting(American Progress) is the part with the Native -Americans that have to live.Otherwise it is a painting that captures the spirit of that period.

Many ppl know the pain my ppl had to go through. I'm both mixed with Cherokee and African American and to hear they were Destined by God to manifest the rape and murder of millions is disgusting. Then they gave us Thanksgiving to directly or indirectly celebrate that fulfilled destiny.. However im an American and proud to be one.. This is hard to accept but I forgive the sins of the forefathers of this country, and stand to salute the flag.. More work is to be done, but we come a long way. I respect both the Union and Confederate soldiers for fighting for what they believed in.. I wished that I joined the Marines when I had the chance to. Im looked down on because im a black man that loves his country, his guns and voted for Trump. Lol,,,,, That's the weak "Lets go Brandon " world we live in
trump 2024 !!!

This was the most American comment I've read in a while. I never truly understood how can you love a country, what's so interesting about a citizenship, a 100-year-old paper with dumb laws and a worthless piece of land. Nationalism, or being proud of anything other than what you accomplished yourself wil always be a foreign concept for me.
@@normalperson397 well you’re foreign to the whole world tho. That’s just how the world works. Your feelings an attitudes are very fringe in most of the world except in the west. Africans, Asians, middle easterners, Eastern Europeans, Jews, native Americans don’t feel the same attitudes as you towards nationalism

White American progress.
Good so what's wrong with that. Do you think any superpowers before American did nice things? They also did the same as Americans who conquered, plundered, subjugated, and enforced their ideology on the other land. Please read about Roman Empire, Muslim conquest, Persian Empire, and Mongols, they were not different from the Americans
@@HainiDjokovic1995 Spanish Empire didn't do that in that scale, just in the beginning, they teach natives to write and do math

Its what israel is doing now and we did before
There is no such thing as indigenous people. They all came from somewhere else. Maybe you can find some original tribe in East Africa but we all come from around there. People left, conquer each other, blended, then fought for more. This has gone on since before homo Sapiens sapiens. You want to live like an American Indian. Go to a camping store, they have everything you need.
