We'll then see if there are any lingering questions about the origins of the Women's rights movement that you discussed in groups last Friday.
The main focus of our work today will be on the concept of Manifest Destiny and how the Mexican War was a culminating point of that idea. We'll begin by looking at Thomas Gast's painting below and then explore some definitions of Manifest Destiny found at the beginning of this handout. We'll then use this packet of evidence to determine whether the ideas of Manifest Destiny justified the Mexican War.
