Key Notes
The American belief that God wills American control of the Western Hemisphere.
Defined as the belief that God wills American control over the Americas, producing violent colonization.
Manifest Destiny is introduced as the American pattern of pushing rival powers out of North America under a providential mission.
Manifest Destiny is framed as the will of God for America to conquer and settle the Western Hemisphere, with Trump-era Canada and Greenland rhetoric treated as continuity rather than novelty.
Britain is introduced as practical, empiricist, utilitarian, and imperial; America is introduced as a continental fortress whose Manifest Destiny imagines divine control of the Western Hemisphere.
Manifest Destiny is presented as a religiously justified project of violent colonization across the Americas.
Jiang argues that contemporary American expansionism is driven by Manifest Destiny, the belief that God gave the Western Hemisphere to the United States as a divine right.
