Best Answer

Expansionists of the 1840s, mainly Democrats, championed the idea of a US that stretched from Atlantic to Pacific across the continent. Political influence in this regard led to the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). The only resistance to Manifest Destiny came from Whigs such as Abraham Lincoln, who wished to consolidate the national economy. Also, of course, the native tribes whose lands were rapidly overrun in the move to settle the West.
