Explanation:

Manifest Destiny refers to the political-social movement that advocated imperialism in the United States in the second half of the 19th century.

The movement has its origins in the Democratic Party but was later boarded by the Republican Party. They believed that fate had predestined the United States to become a great power rivaled by the European empires. The belief in the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race sparked a "civilization offensive" overseas and provided an argument for American imperialism, which gained influence in the late 19th century.  It contributed to the outbreak of the Mexican-American War, the Spanish-American War and the American Indian removal.
