Rye Whiskey is a drinking spirit that is required by law, in America, to be made from at least 51% rye mash, while the remainder is corn and barley. This is pointed out as Canadian Rye often contains very little Rye. It is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 2 years. It is then bottled at a minimum of 80 proof and a maximum of 160 proof. The creation of Rye whiskey uses large amounts of water to distill and process the mash, which Manifest Destiny will source from local mountain spring water. The end product is enjoyed as a strong alcohol with spicy and “brash” flavors. (Liquor.com)…
Newspaper editor John L. O'Sullivan first used the term manifest destiny in an 1845 article to describe the inevitability surrounding the annexation of Texas. Since then it has come to describe the belief among American settlers and political leaders that it was their God-given right and duty to expand U.S. territory, customs, and institutions throughout North America from coast to coast. The concept gained traction during the nineteenth century as immigration and land acquisitions, including the Louisiana Purchase (1803), drastically increased the feasibility and pace of westward expansion.…
it was the nation's manifest destiny to overspread and to posses the whole of the untied states. Many things happen during this time that the United States was forced to put into effect a program to make room for all the settlers that were coming to this county from many parts of the world , but mostly from Europe. The United States was justified to take some land from Native Americans by signing agrements with the various chiefs. However, the everage Native American did not understand the purpose of the treaty and was resentful of having to give up land for the white people.…
was around this time that the idea of “Manifest Destiny” was an established belief of the Europeans. They now felt destined to take all land from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This resulted in the Native Americans being separated from their home. To this day the social effect of this treatment has made the Native Americans very upset. They still try to preserve their treaty rights and want to resume their native and religious customs.…
In the early 19th century, The U.S began to think about the future of the country and commenced the desire to expand further west and began to do so. Although the phrase "Manifest Destiny" was first coined by John L. Sullivan in 1845 when discussing the annexation of Texas. The phrase rose in popularity describing the belief that the expansion of the US throughout the American continents was both justified and inevitable. This way of thinking became a prominent force in motivating westward expansion in the country. This expansionist way of thinking managed to influence changes and maintain continuities in American politics, economics, and society. Ultimately, the changes and continuity brought about by the influence of the "Manifest Destiny Doctrine" would assist in the evolution of the…
Manifest Destiny still exists, however in a more modernized form. In the 1800’s the main goal for everyone was to spread Americanization and be found everywhere. Although we still want America to expand, our reasons differ than the past. Curently are goal seems to be expanding our economic domination. Examples of this include spreading our economic domination in Afghanistan and Iraq.…
The idea of Manifest Destiny ran through American history since the 19th century. America began to expand through the continent, because it was their destiny to expand. America wanted to become bigger and greater. Manifest Destiny not only included the idea of being destined to expand America, but it also included the idea of expanding America for economic opportunity and for the progress of Liberty. America went straight for Manifest Destiny to better its economy and strength. Imperialism degrades other nations making them oppressed by their ruling countries, however the United States did try to expand their colony into the pacific ocean for the ideology of Manifest Destiny by having people from America going to other countries, building canals in other provinces and creating companies in China to expand the American economy.…

The Manifest Destiny was another symbol of America’s progress and with the sun rising from the west, it represented “the nation’s bright future” (pg. 321), yet it still came with percussions. With more knowledge of this new territory, the government thought that the move was greatly important due to the nation’s rising popularity. However, once a certain article in a popular newspaper was written that the plenties of the West was only in certain people’s reaches, ideas of the Manifest Destiny started to turn into religious and racial superiority. John O’Sullivan wrote the article saying “The White Race alone received the divine command, to subdue and replenish the earth” (pg. 320) and "Civilization or extinction has been the fate of all people who have found themselves in the track of the advancing Whites" (pg. 320); meaning that it was fate for Whites to advance to the plentiful lands, but the whole manifest developed a very Jacksonian Democracy that emphasized white superiority. It was not only the African Americans to be affected, but the whites gave no sympathy as they walked into the Indian’s lands, subduing anyone that lived there.…
The idea that the United States had a “manifest destiny” led to more than simply acquiring land, though between 1845 and 1848, the United States would almost double in size, from 1.8 million square miles to almost 3 million. Many Americans supported versions of Manifest destiny for their own reasons. Land speculators and those promoting the extension of the nation’s railroads wanted to exploit the vast lands in the west. Farmers dreamed of starting over rich and cheap new lands. Workers believed that rapid national expansion would guarantee industrial profits and thus their jobs, or give them a chance to start over if necessary.…
As a Native American of this land I’d like to address some important things that have been overlooked in the past years. The Manifest Destiny which took place in the 19th century, where Americans had the belief that the United States was destined to expand across the continent, had several severe consequences; some of which being about Native Americans. My ancestors wanted to be left alone yet the Indian Removal Act was passed, forcibly removing them from their lands and killing thousands of Native Americans. I’d like to request an apology and reparations for the consequences of the Manifest Destiny.…
Examining the religious, economic, nationalistic, and racial justifications provide a basis of understanding the ideals behind Manifest Destiny, but in no way excuse the acts of cruelty against the indigenous peoples. This idea changed the world, and covers more than just westward expansion - it affected people, society, and the environment. It changed how people thought and divided themselves, and the basis of authority behind it - the basis that gave people an idea of radical empowerment - is bizarre. It is a name given to the movement of Americans to take over the continent, in an effort to gain a small amount of power as a new nation in a large world of power struggle. It may have benefited the English crusaders in North America, but it decimated populations and created turmoil in the land. However noble its intentions may have been deemed, its execution was undignified and inexcusable. It is undeniable, though, that without it the United States of America would not be what it is today. It would not stretch from the East coast to the West, and be home to a diverse range of people. As long as people continue to learn about the crude execution of Manifest Destiny, its treacherous acts should not be repeated. Manifest Destiny was the embodiment of the American ideal of opportunity - for salvation, wealth,…
The proliferation of European imperial power in Asia and Africa had emerged Muslims to judge how faith is being followed and practiced. This judgment is concomitant by the precept that God have abundant the Muslims. They notion that God’s intervention was not encompassed throughout their battles against the invasion of Mongols and European colonialism; as a result of their tendencies toward Un-Islamic practices, which led them to a powerless state. However, this precept which infused political triumph and religious faith is not only associated with Islam but found in American historical narratives as well. For example, the storytelling- “ idea of manifest destiny in US history,” uses a lot of religious connotations and political perspectives,…
