Essays on Manifest

Manifest destiny is a term coined by newspaper editor John O’Sullivan in 1845 to describe the moral, ethical, religious, patriotic, and financial reasoning behind the United State’s expansion of territory from the Atlantic to Pacific oceans (“Manifest”). Many Americans believed that it was God’s intent for them to do this; their Christian faith was seen as superior to that of the “heathen” native Americans who already occupied the land. The rapid expansion westward was driven in part by the feeling that the American people were special and in some ways remains a part of today’s ...

Many historians argue that the manifest destiny was a concept that was coined in the late 19th century in the United States. The concept of the manifest destiny was based on the idea that America was an exceptional territory that was composed of unique people in comparison to other parts and peoples of the world. According the architect of this term, the American people had a divine responsibility to expand their territory and change both the structure and the governance of the conquered territories. Many scholars have also referred to this attitude as the west-ward expansion (Garfield 47).

The words “Manifest Destiny” is perhaps one of the most politically-intriguing and morally-infused phrases in the history of the American nation. It has ingrained itself in the hallowed halls of American political discourse, and has been debated – time and again – regarding its morality, political philosophy, and ethical value. It is also a prime source for reasoning behind the current turmoil within the United States regarding race and racial inequality, founded upon the notion that individuals born out of a certain stock are better human beings than others. It has thus shaped and transfigured the identity of the American nation – ...

Asian immigrants were, for many years, the silent victims of American westward expansion. When Americans were expanding westward in pursuit of Manifest Destiny, they were not doing all the work themselves. Manifest Destiny was the widely-held belief by many Americans that America was destined to expand across the current-day United States. During the 1820s all the way through the 1860s, Americans from the east coast of the United States expanded across the United States, seeking a variety of different things-- some sought land, others new experiences or natural resources. Everyone who participated in the American westward expansion carried some ...

Sigmund Freud emphasizes the importance of the psychoanalytic value of dreams tremendously. He is of the opinion that dreams give a useful insight into the unconscious mind of a dreamer.

Freud believes that dreams are an attempt to fulfill wishes by the id, especially those wishes which remain unfulfilled in the waking life due to various reasons. Because the ...

Book Review: Race and Manifest Destiny: Origins of American Racial Anglo-Saxonism

In Reginald Horsman's Race and Manifest Destiny: The Origins of American Racial Anglo-Saxonism, the author studies racism in America in a manner that contributes significantly to the historiography of the Jacksonian Era. In this work, Horsman links racist ideologues to political events that have happened throughout history, Jim Crowism and Reconstruction being of particular focus. Horsman's thesis in this work is that the ideological elements of manifest destiny go hand in hand with the tenets of American racism; in essence, racism is a decidedly integral part of American ideology, one which provided a vital symbolic language that framed issues ...

1. Factor Analysis
Factor analysis is a statistical procedure utilized for data reduction (Bartholomew et al., 2008). This reduction is reflected in lowering a large number of variables that have similar characteristics, into smaller factors (dimensions). Specifically, based on data reduction, factor analysis is conducted to identify the unobservable and underlying structure of a set of variables which are correlated with each other. These variables are coherent but independent of one another. By coherent it implies that the variables are very consistent and relate with each other harmoniously while independent denotes that the outcomes or the results of each ...
