3 page533.jpg Manifest Destiny Manifest Destiny a phrase used by leaders and politicians in the 1840s to explain continental expansion by the United States revitalized a sense of "mission" or national destiny for many Americans. An American political and societal belief that it was the United States God-given right, its apparent destiny, to overspread the continent of North America John L. O Sullivan - (1839) - notably in
4 John L. O Sullivan - Manifest Destiny It is time for opposition to the Annexation of Texas to cease.... It is time for the common duty of Patriotism to the Country to succeed if this claim will not be recognized, it is at least time for common sense to acquiesce [agree] with decent grace in the inevitable and the irrevocable.... Why, were other reasoning wanting, in favor of now elevating this question of the reception of Texas into the Union, out of the lower region of our past party dissensions, up to its proper level of a high and broad nationality, it surely is to be found, found abundantly, in the manner in which other nations have undertaken to intrude themselves into it, between us and the proper parties to the case, in a spirit of hostile interference against us, for the avowed object of thwarting our policy and hampering our power, limiting our greatness and checking the fulfillment of our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions.... Manifest Destiny - Why? High birthrate and the rapid influx of immigrants (Irish and German) = demand for space. Estimated 4 million Americans moved west between 1820 and Panic of 1819 and Panic of 1837 caused people to look to the West for a fresh start Frontier land =: inexpensive in some cases, free. Economic opportunity for commerce and entrepreneurial enterprise Land ownership = wealth Land ownership =: self-sufficiency political power Independent self-rule OR popular sovereignty Opportunity for West Coast ports for trade 4

7 (Chapter 13) Emigrant Train Bedding Down for the Night A "train" of emigrants to the Far West usually traveled around twenty miles a day in socalled Conestoga wagons. These wagons, shown here, each had slanting gates and a cloth cover supported by bows of bent wood. They were each drawn by a team of four to six horses or mules. In this painting, we see emigrants preparing for the evening s rest against the backdrop of a lovely sunset. The horses have been unyoked from their harnesses. The cover of the wagon on the right has been taken down, exposing casks that probably carried water. The women occupy themselves taking take care of the small children, one an infant, and preparing dinner. We see men and boys performing various tasks. A man on the far left gathers hay for the horses and livestock. Another man, on the left, herds the cattle, while in the left foreground a young man draws water from a convenient stream. On different sides of the pot that presumably holds dinner for the group, a balding man holds a rifle and pets his dog, while a small child does the wash. The painting projects an image of plenty, cooperation, security (the rifle), and contentment. Realistically, the serenity of this painting was rarely evident on the Overland Trail. Difficult trails, animals dying from thirst and exhaustion, and frequent childbirths marked the journey west for many emigrants. 1. In what ways does this painting romanticize the Overland Trail? How would this emigrant train have forded a river? Would hay have been available to feed the animals each night? Are there enough horses to pull the four wagons shown? The women all have clean, white aprons. If they washed them, where did they dry them? What's in the pot over the fire? 2. Why did these emigrants bring sheep and cattle with them? 3. Does this painting reflect Americans general perception of the trip west? (Chapter 13) Emigrant Train Bedding Down for the Night 7

20 Mexican-American War: American Firsts The United States' first foreign war. The first war anywhere in the world to be photographed. The first war in which steamboats played an important role. The first war in which newspaper correspondents regularly reported from the seat of war. The first war in which graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point participated. Among these were a number of officers who would later face each other across the battlefields of the Civil War: Robert E. Lee,Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, Braxton Bragg, Ulysses S. Grant, George Meade, George McClellan, and William T. Sherman, to name but a few. Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo (1848) 20
21 Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo: Feb. 2, 1848 Ended the Mexican War. TEXAS: Confirmed U.S. claims to Texas and set Texas boundary at the Rio Grande river MEXICAN CESSION: Mexico ceded California and New Mexico to the United States (includes present-day California, Nevada, and Utah, and parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming) PAYOUT: U.S. paid $15 million and assumed claims against Mexico by U.S. citizens (about $2 million unpaid). Treaty was ratified by the U.S. Senate on Mar. 10, 1848, and by the Mexican Congress on May 25. Map 13.5 The Mexican Cession, (p. 382) 21
22 Mexican-American War: Significance In the end, the Mexican American War had an immense impact on United States history. Thirteen thousand American lives were lost = two thousand were on the battlefield. It added over 500,000 square miles to the American frontier. It helped America to fulfill its manifest destiny, extending it from the Atlantic to the Pacific. With this new territory, however, came disputes that led to further sectional divide and ultimately contributed to the Civil War.
