Answer:
Manifest Destiny and Settlers' Descriptions of American Expansion
North America was the destined domain of the United States of America; Americans had a duty to fill it.
United States culture demonstrated "divine principles" and brought glory to God.
The "hundreds of happy millions" that made up the population of the expanding United States enjoyed freedom, equality, and brotherhood.
American expansion brought progress and civilization to all that the settlers encountered.
Native American Reactions to These Descriptions
North America was already home to many different tribes. American settlers did not have any right to the land.
United States culture involved lying to and cheating the Native Americans, driving them off their land, and often killing them.
Native Americans are not afforded the same rights and privileges as other groups within American society, particularly white Americans of European heritage.
The Native American way of life is not "behind" or "uncivilized." It is its own unique culture deserving of respect, and white American attempts to assimilate Native Americans are insulting and unnecessary.
