On This Day in Indigenous History

Tuesday, 02 December 1845

On This Day: In 1845 US President James K. Polk announces to Congress that the United States should aggressively expand into the West. Manifest Destiny was the 19th century American belief that the United States was destined to expand across the North American continent, from the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific Ocean. Advocates of Manifest Destiny believed that expansion was not only wise but that it was readily apparent (manifest) and inexorable (destiny). Under Manifest Destiny millions of acres of indigenous land were taken, often without any legal justification or compensation.
