1) Impacted the Economy
By aquiring land from the West and from other countries opened doors to new trafing routes. Also, people could find jobs and obtain land by moving to the West.

As I researched about the Manifest Destiny many things came to mind. For example, it wasn't necessarly a bad thing that the Americans started spreading westward. It was actually something that was going to happen sooner or later due to increase population. There was just a need for restriction. The Americans should have respected those living in the West before them by letting them live peacefully. It would have been better if the Americans would have atleast tried to coexist with others instead of rushing to push them out of their land since that land didn't yet belong to the Americans.

1) War & Conflict
Conflict rose between Mexico and America due to the land that the whites were moving to was Mexican territory. This lead to the Mexican-American war that lasted a year.

2) Share of Culture
Due to the expansion, Americans came in contact with a lot of people from other countries. This allowed for American culture to spread and to have some impact due to other cultures.

3) Territorial Expansion
Having more land allowed for progress. They were able to find gold also in the west. All the new land also allowed for immagrants and slaves who were freed to obtain land.

2)Brought pain to others
Also, in the West, there were laready people living there who would have to move away. For example, the Natives were pushed out of their land and forced to move elsewhere

3) Slavery
Since the expansion was happening when slavery was still around, it led to the concept of slavery also spreading. Some took their slaves with them while others would capture Natives and force them into slavery.
