Answer 1

Answer: Look at the explanation

Explanation: "Manifest Destiny" is the indoctrination that allowed settlers go from east-to-west across the continental U.S. The painting depicts an angel like figure guiding settlers to keep heading west. In other words, settlers believed it they were destined to expand across the continent. The term was coined by newspaper editor John L O'Sullivan in 1845.
