second painting:’’american progress’’ by john fast,represent the manifest destiny.

‘’Manifest Destiny is a phrase that expressed the belief that the United States had a mission to expand ,spreading its form of democracy and freedom.Advocaters of Manifest Destiny believed that expansion was not only good,but that it was obvious and inevitable
Which al these documents we can clearly say that funding meets can be criticized because they are in most cases funded on lies the American for example which their religious manifest destiny : they believe that the myth on which they are funded is true the myth is Christian but today in America their is more than just christianity their is atheism , Islam, Judaism ... so the myth is not actual anymore and the new generation of American cannot relate or identify in a country that is funded on a myth from a long time ago!

The manifest destiny can also seem ridiculous : yes the pilgrims fathers were Christian and yes maybe America was god’s which but today we cannot say that for this reason America is holy!just like the holy grail for years people tried to find it without even knowing if it was true or not! Myth are a part of history but we need to remember that their is always different sides to the story and we cannot say that myth are an only reason for a creation or to fight
