Was the US justified in expanding its border?

Its all relative on how you would consider justification. The 19th century Americans had the idea of Manifest Destiny, like it was there "Destiny" to expand westward and take over most of the continent. But, as you probably know, there were already people living there (natives.) The Native Americans were already pushed westward and put on reservations to try to "civilize" them. But once again, it is all relative.


Which of these is most closely related to the Mexican-American War A Mason-Dixon Line B The Louisiana Purchase C Manifest Destiny D American Immigration policies?

The most closely related option to the Mexican-American War is C) Manifest Destiny.

What were the rights to continental expansion?

As the United States pushed settlements further into the west, continental expansion took away the lands that had previously been occupied by Native Americans.

Was manifest destiny a good or bad thing?

The justification of Imperialist Expansion under the term 'Manifest Destiny' was by no means unique to the American Settlers. The Colonialisation process resulted in large scale extermination and suppression of indigenous peoples as well as exploitation and theft of land and resources. Many European countries were guilty of the same thing by another name. Forced movement of peoples, slavery, and what by today's standards can not be tolerated, is to be condemned, yet continues today in other guises. The past can not be undone. Blaming people for being 'Wrong' is futile. What can be done is to learn the lessons of history, and never to repeat them. America and other former Colonisers need to face their past squarely and deal with it in an honest and just way regardless of vested interests. Open repentance for harm done, and meaningful reparations for those who continue to suffer the consequences is the only way. Until this unfinished business is dealt with, anger, resentment, non-integration and retribution will continue to smoulder at some level or other, whether it be in open protest or sullen insolence. For the USA this especially means the indigenous Indian Tribes, and post slavery Blacks. A good start would to be to make History a mandatory subject in Schools, and to teach it as it really should be taught: the 'unwhitewashed' Truth, the lessons to be learned from it, and how to manage the future better.
