after the USA got more land, by winning the Mexican-American war, they got the south-western part of the us and by purchasing the Mississippi land
While the idea of promoting democracy throughout the world, otherwise known as manifest destiny, sounds like a common cause for unification of the population of the US, it has been taking a beating in the last several decades. As a self-fulfilling prophecy, that which is predicted comes to fruition, has not been the case with the manifest destiny followers.
Although manifest destiny is most closely associated with the territorial expansion of the United States from 1812 to 1860, it has been used in more modern times as well. President McKinley invoked the idea of manifest destiny when advocating for the annexation of Hawaii.
The phrase "manifest destiny" is most often associated with the territorial expansion of the United States from 1812 to 1860. This era, from the end of the War of 1812 to the beginning of the American Civil War, has been called the "age of manifest destiny"
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.
In order for Manifest Destiny to be complete, the US had to obtain land in the American Southwest which, at the time, belonged to Mexico.
It had been the nations destiny to expand west to the pacific ocean.

Manifest Destiny is the belief that the United States was destined to expand from the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific Ocean. It has also been used to advocate and justify other territorial acquisitions. Advocates of Manifest Destiny believed that expansion was not only good, but that it was obvious ("manifest") and certain ("destiny"). Originally a political catch phrase of the 19th century, "Manifest Destiny" eventually became a standard historical term, often used as a synonym for the expansion of the United States across the North American continent.

Manifest destiny started the dispute over the spread of slavery. Since before the Mexican-American War the states had argued about annexing new territory because of the spread of slavery. Also, this is more of a underlying factor and a personal opinion, I think that the northern population wanted to preserve the union so badly because the media had been perching manifest destiny for so long people didn't realize how bloodily and costly expansion could be. Many Americans were wrapped up in the success the US had had expanding to the west so they didn't really understand the true costs of war.
The people of the Mormon Church of more properly, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, settled in Utah after their first leader Joseph Smith was murdered in Missouri. Their Church had been persecuted and they, under Brigham Young, were sure that they were going to found a new Zion in Utah. There is no record of the 1845 slogan coined by the journalist John L. O'Sullivan called the "manifest destiny" that led the Mormons to Utah.
Manifest destiny was a flawed theoretical justification for U.S. expansion an taking over of territory that was not theirs, Same as Abraham's Lincoln's: Lincoln made a speech on the House floor in which he pointed out that the Mexicans had made no hostile acts toward the United States and had been attacked in an area which was rightfully theirs
