Manifest destiny is the belief that America was meant to be a country of expansion across the west to the Pacific ocean. It was believed by many Americans (during the 18th and 19th century ) that America was a country predestined by the creator.

Americans felt God the creator was the one that gave them the right to expand westward.

They would feel empowered to ask these people to go a way or not stand in the way because Americans were special and unlike any other people. In the most extreme case Americans were willing to fight and shed blood.

Manifest Destiny and the Mexican war is related because Americans felt that Mexicans were a threat to westward expansion. Therefore they fought against them.
