"America is destined for better deeds. We have no interest in the scenes of antiquity, only as lessons of avoidance of nearly all their examples."
Manifest Destiny is suppose to mean that our actions manifest and lead us to our destiny. It's suppose to mean that no matter what we do, it will bend itself to follow destiny's path. Our actions were suppose to lead us to a perfect world called America where everyone was suppose to be equal and unbiased. However, instead of that, what actually happened was conquest.

I think that the John L O'Sullivan 1839 quote is saying that the U.S. is destined to expand and that the nation only has interest in expanding and having no limits. This also means that our actions of manifest leads us to our destiny. Manifest destiny is when people believed that they were supposed to conquer the land, they found it to be their destiny to conquer the land.
"America is destined for better deeds."
"We are a nation of human progress, and who will, what can, set the limits to our onward march? Providence is us, and no earthly power can."
"Shall not prevail against it. Who, then, can doubt that our country is destined to be the great nation of futurity."
Manifest destiny is in the 19th century(1800's), manifest destiny was a widely held belief in the United States where settlers were destined to expand across most of North America, but mainly just the United States .

I see a spirt or angel in the air that is leading the settlers to their new land. She is also holding a telephone line which shows the settlers progress. I also notice that animals and native americans are running away from the settlers and they are in the darker part of the sky and the set tellers and the angle are in the light part of the sky. When I look at the angel she seems to be holding a bible which represents their religion. Overall I see that the angel is showing the progress of the settlers and that the angel is leading them and almost scaring away the animals and the natives.
I think that this panting is trying to tell us something. I belive that the person who painted this was bias because they are clearly on the settlers side. The settlers are on the sunny side of the sky and the natives are on the dark side. The painter most likely but the natives on the dark side of the sky because he must think they are bad or evil. I also think that this painter was very religious because if he is supporting the settlers he most likley supports and belives there religion.
I wonder why the settlers are not in the train that is in the background because thta would be alot  easier then walking. I wonder why the spirt is a girl. Is there a spisific reason. I wonder why the animals are running away from the settlers. I understand why the natives are running aways but not the animals. Another thing I wonder is why the spirt would a telephone rope to show there progress she could of used anything else.

I see the trans continental railroad the angel stringing the wire that represents information and communication. I also see the native Americans fleeing into a darker part of the painting to make way for the "modern" age

"We are entering on it's untrodden space, with the truth of God in our minds, beneficent objects in our hearts, and with a clear conscience." and "The expansive future is our arena, and for our history."  I believe the definition of Manifest Destiny is the act of invading a land in a nicer way yet it is still bad because they are taking someone else land so they can have it for them selves.Yet it is nicer because they have the power of God and they believe in not just going in and killing everyone . I wonder why they invade others even though God is on there side because either way your taking something for yourself.

Key words/Quotes: "America is destined for better deeds."
"The expansive future is our arena, and for our history."
Words: futurity and proclaim
Based on these words and quotes I think manifest destiny means that it is bound to happen and that it is the will for them to do what ever they need to for it to happen.

Team: Manifest destiny is a belief in the 19th century where settlers were meant to travel west is the US

we see the native Americans running from the Americans I also see an angel of some sort and buffalo and boats and train. I think it is showing the us expand as the people are taking all of the native Americans land. Why is there an angel there randomly and why is it connected to the power line.

This quote is biased, as it says that they should go forward no matter what, and that they should own many other lands regardless of opposition.

# data[].attributes.body
I think some important quotes from the quote are, "we are the nation of human progress..." and also "With the truth of God in our minds..." In these quotes some key words are, progress, and God. These are important because they represent the majority of people in the east and their beliefs on westward expansion, and manifest destiny. Based on my words and phrases I think, to the settlers, manifest destiny is a belief in the 1900's and is something that is bound to happen, and since it is bound to happen it is also the will of God. To them, what God wants to happen is put in their minds so they think westward expansion is God's will, and is the destiny of the nation.

In the "American Progress Painting" , We see the native people and wildlife being chased off their land by the settlers u can also see the settlers building railroad tracks and laying out wires for the telegraph so that the settlers can keep in touch with their families as they travel west. we also see an angel of some kind carrying a book which looks like a Bible this shows that some of them may be trying to spread their religion(missionaries).

Some important quotes/key words are " We are the nation of human progress, and who will, what can, set limits to our onward march?" This is saying how we are the nation that will have progress and can be the greatest and have a lot of potential. A key word is destined because that is what the whole quote is about that we are destined for many different things in the world. Another key word is futurity because it is saying how we are the future and the best of the world and we can do everything.  A definition for manifest destiny is when something is bound to happen and it just happens. They use force and violence to take over land from others. This was in the 19th century when they used this belief.

1.They say that America was destined for better deeds and that the expansive future is our arena.They are showing that they believe that this was destined for them and the land is theirs.

In this painting I see European settlers pushing the Native Americans into the darkness, and possibly harming them. I also see the Europeans being lead by some Goddess of some sort holding telegraph lines. I think that this painting was clearly painted by a European settler because whomever painted was bias towards the settlers. They didn't make it seem like the settlers were doing any bad by naming it "Manifest Destiny". I wonder why this Goddess is present and why she is a she.

I see buffaloes running away from the Americans. I also see Native Americans running away with spears. The native americans are running into the darkness where as the behind the Americans its all bright. .
2.I think the buffaloes and native americans are running away because the Americans are killing them and chasing them off their land. Native Americans have spear because they are fighting the Americans.
3. I wonder why the Americans are already industrulizing everything. I also wonder why the angles is helping them

I see an angle holding the electric line while others  are doing there own stuff. I also see buffalo ,horses, and prairie wagons. While the angle is doing this it kind of looks like the Native Americans are being chased or are just running away from something, and the people that are on the hill are just walking calmly. There is also a train where the electric line is at.

What I see is early settlers ideology on Westward expansion and how they will run the native Americans off of their land.  As they run the natives off their land they are also laying down the tracks for modes of travel and power.

I see the buffalos running away. I also see the native americans running away into the darkness with spears. Behind the Americans is all bright and industrulized. Lastly the angles is helping them industrulize the land.

3. I wonder why the angles is helping them industrulize the land. I also wonder why the land is all bright behind the Americans and dark infront of the native americans

I see an angel leading Americans into the Native Americans land, I see the trains, telegraph lines being laid down and praire scooners.

In the "American Progress Painting", I see the settlers taking the Native Americans land by moving west. I see the settlers taking the Native Americans land by moving west. I see buffalo moving west by the settlers. I see a dark side moving with the Native Americans. I see a god or angel moving with the settlers. I see that the god or angel is bringing light with her as she moves.
I think that the darkness shows the Native Americans side and what they think. I think that there is a god moving with the settlers.I think that there is a dark side because of the Native Americans mood. I think that there is a god or angel because she is helping them through spirit. I think the Native American took different paths based on the path they think is the fastest.
I wonder why the buffalo are moving at the same Time as the Native Americans. I wonder why people are on different paths. I wonder why there is a train.

# data[].attributes.body
I see things like horses and people traveling to the west. The angel is holding a book which is releasing line showing a telegraph on how they communicated through mortises code. In the back you can see Buffalo and Native Americans running from the Americans. Also, a prairie scooner can be seen riding along the path. I think that the Americans are pushing the native Americans out  in this painting and are conquering the west. I wonder why it is so dark in the back left?

In the painting I see a angle holding a wire which has electric currents to send Morse code. I also see white men taking over the Native Americans land and the Native Americans are leaving behind their food, blankets and more well the white men take over their land. The white men are moving the Native Americans into the darkness and the white man are taking over. I think that this is an example of manifest destiny because the US is taking over peoples land. I wonder what kind of messages they sent through Mores code and if they relied on it and if they got the messages ev

1. I see native animals like buffalo and native Americans ruining away from a women and white men . I also see in the background trains this must show the industrialized period of america. Also I see new not native animals like cows moving west. There is an angel like figure in the sky that looks to be leading the settlers west she is holding a telegraph that is also a new technology of america. You can see a prairie schooner in this painting also a very a very big part of westward expansion.
2. I think that this is a good representation of westward expansion because they are kicking the natives out of there land but they think this what god wants this but they are conquering.
3. I wonder what they native Americans would have thought back then about manifest destiny. They must have thought they were evil.

# data[].attributes.body
I see in the painting Manifest Destiny by John Gast Native Americans being pushed back by white American settlers. I also see an angel like figure hiding a coil of wire. This could show that the Americans are bringing and spreading technology west. I think that on either side of the painting it is sunny and stormy it is sunny on the right where the Americans are and it is stormy where the Natives are running to. This shows that the Americans think that they are better than the Natives and they are bad.
I wonder why the Americans at this time had such a disliking towards the Native Americans.

# data[].attributes.body
1.I see what might be the perspective of the Americans showing that it is beautiful and a good thing.That they are building on their land and pushing the Native Americans out of their land.
2.I think that the Americans may see it this way but the Native Americans would see it as evil and the end for them all.
3.I wonder why the Americans made it seem this way with the painting showing how they feel and not just neutral.

In the painting "Manifest Destiny" by John Gast. I see, wonder and think many things. I see The light breaking the clouds with the white american settlers and the darkness retreating with the native Americans. I see prairie scooners and an angel pulling a telegraph. I can also see the Continental railroad being build. I can see the big cultural difference between the two. You can see the settlers farming and agriculture way if life and the native Americans nomadic way of life.
I believe that this painting had a lot of symbols that mean something else. I think that the angel represents how god set them on a kind of quest to capture more land. I also think that how the light is moving with the settlers shows that the settlers are the good guys in the painting.
I had one wondering through out the painting. I was wondering what was going through the native Americans head?

In this painting Manifest Destiny by John Gast  on the right I see these American settlers with bright sky and then on the left I see the Native Americans with dark sky getting pushed away by the American settlers. What is happening here is the American settlers are taking the Native Americans land The I see this angel holding this telegram wire and in her other hand she is holding a bible.

# data[].attributes.body
I see the angel bringing light to the land as the settlers set up in the new land while they kick the wild life and Native Americans out. I think the settlers thought that taking over the land was the right thing to do and that they were supposed to, but the Native Americans did not agree. I wonder why the settlers would think that it was right to kick people out of their land.

1. I see men on horses and prarie scooners riding to the west which are probably settlers. There are animals like buffalo and deer running away from the settlers. I also see trains and ships in the distance. An angel is flying over the land past some ominous looking clouds holding a bible and telephone line.

2. I think that the bible is suppose to symbolize the spread of Christianity. I think the dark clouds represent what settlers think the west is currently and the angel is suppose to represent the "enlightenment" the settlers bring. I think trade was a big part of settlement in the west and the trains helped a lot with that.

3. I wonder how Christianity became so popular and how it survived the journey to the west. I wonder why the settlers felt that they had to drive the Native Americans out and why the animals are so scared of the settlers.

1. In the painting I see an angel with a wire for the telegraph which send electrical currents to send Morse code. I also see a railroad for the Trans-Continental Railroad.

2. I think that what we did to the Native Americans was wrong. I think that we could have done that way differently.

3. I wonder why we kicked the Native Americans off their land so violently instead of doing it professionally.

# data[].attributes.body
I see the settlers taking the Native Americans land and the darkness can show the Native Americans mood and their feelings. I also see buffalo and other wildlife. There is some sort of god coming in with the settlers which is representing how nice they are and giving the Native Americans relief. They are not giving the Native Americans relief they are taking the land and forcing them to be homeless and have nothing. They are trying to act like this was a "Manifest Destiny" when it really was a conquer.   I wonder what side the person who drew this painting was on?

# data[].attributes.body
In this painting you see the white settlers coming from the east to the west. The lady is guiding them and she is in the light. I think she is in the light because the people settling in the west believe that it is for the good of everyone, and they should all become one nation. The Native Americans are being pushed into the dark along with all the wild life. I think this is a way of representing how the people from the east think which is the way Native Americans live is not the way that they believe is right. I wonder how the Native Americans felt when they saw this painting. Did they get mad because the people going west thought that their way of life was not the way everyone should be living? Also I wonder if some people from the east believed the painting was not the right way to show their beliefs?

“America is destined for better deeds. We have no interest in the scenes of antiquity, only as lessons of avoidance of nearly all their examples. The expansive future is our arena, and for our history. We are entering on its untrodden space, with the truths of God in our minds, beneficent objects in our hearts, and with a clear conscience unsullied by the past. We are the nation of human progress, and who will, what can, set limits to our onward march? Providence is with us, and no earthly power can. We point to the everlasting truth on the first page of our national declaration, and we proclaim to the millions of other lands, that “the gates of 🤬” – the powers of aristocracy and monarchy – “shall not prevail against it. Who, then, can doubt that our country is destined to be the great nation of futurity?” (John L. O’Sullivan, Manifest Destiny, 1839)
