Manifest Destiny Was the idea that Unites States should
expand to the 54 40 line and out to the pacific ocean
James Polk
Our President
Oregon country
How did the idea of Manifest Destiny help bring about the expansion of the
United States?
Because our president James Polk wanted our state to expand towards the 54 40 line. But what he did was Great Britain gave up the Oregon country and in exchange they told us to only expand to the 49 line. Then our state was complete.
