    Also, from what I learned it was this concept that the ultimate goal was to have a country bounded by two oceans. Further, it was the justification of the atrocities in the expansion westward as in ".....the ends justify the means". Because it was believed that it was a god given right therefore spilling a little blood was to be expected and forgiven by god.

    "For myself," [Ulysses] Grant wrote later about the United States war against Mexico, "I was bitterly opposed to the measure, and to this day regard the war, which resulted, as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation."
    The political, cultural and social era of the 1830s birthed a mission transcribed as Manifest Destiny, America's expansion westward into the lands occupied by native tribes and the Republic of Mexico. This national attitude was a major cause of the war with Mexico and had tragic results for many. Grant, though against the war personally, served to the best of his ability as a matter of duty.

I dread the day when America looks North again for their next expansion. I'd like to see you do a video on Canada/America relations over history as well.

    There's something that came to my mind with all this.
    When my 63 year old sweet Mexican mother was studying the Naturalization American book to become a U.S citizen I was helping her study, she needed to study 100 question with U.S. Basic history. When you do the test, they only ask you at most 6 out of the 100, of course, you don't know which ones...well
    One of those questions was something like "What is one of the requirements to become a U.S citizen?" One of the requirements was....Give up your loyalty to any other country and be loyal only to the United States.
    It was hard for me to believe was I was reading because, how can one stop being loyal to your country of origin to give your solemn loyalty to a new country?
    To me loyalty is accompanied by respect. As a child I was thought to respect others as I respect my self, there fore, be loyal to a country that is welcoming you as you are loyal to the land that witnessed your birth, your homeland.
