Going West, Facing East | US History to 1865 | Study Hall

As the nation grew, 19th century Americans used the phrase "Manifest Destiny." However, Westward Expansion wasn’t "destined" to happen, rather, it was the product of many individual choices that can’t be fully captured in any one phrase. In this episode, Dr. Danielle Bainbridge discusses Westward Expansion and the impact it had on communities and nations throughout the continent.
