Best Answer

The concept of "manifest destiny" assumed that the US was ordained to control the continent, which had previously been inhabited only by non-industrial native tribes. When it became apparent that no other country would seriously challenge the US in the Americas, manifest destiny became the hallmark of political thinking in the 19th century.
