Answer:

by igniting debate over the expansion of slavery

Explanation:

Manifest Destiny refers to a 19th century idea that the American way of life and its institutions were special and had no equal in the world, and that the people from the United States had an almost divine mission to spread their values across the continent. This idea supported expansionism, especially towards the western areas of the North American landmass.

Manifest Destiny, however, was a deeply controversial idea, especially because of the division between northern industrial states and southern slave holding states. Northern states opposed the expansion of slavery, as they feared that every new territory added to the southern United States would tip the delicate balance between north and south. After the annexation of Texas in 1845 and the invasion and annexation of the northern territories of Mexico in 1848, public opinion gradually shifted towards opposition against Manifest Destiny, as it was now inevitably linked with the expansion of slavery. The north-south division grew over time, culminating in the Civil War (1861-1865).

The Battle of Gettysburg occurred as a result of General Robert E.

His ultimate goal was Philadelphia, but General George Meade's forces caught up with him at Gettysburg.

Naya [18.7K]

Both revolutions started rather moderately, with people demanding more representation in government. Neither gained the full support of everyone in the respective nations either, as evidenced by Loyalists in the US and counterrevolutions in areas like the Vendee in France. In France, the revolution became more radical and ideological, taking Enlightenment ideals and rationalism to the extreme. The revolution in France also led to the dictatorship of Napoleon and the restoration is Bourbon monarchs, so ultimately a return to the status quo, while the American Revolution was successful in gaining American independence. Furthermore, the French Revolution was fought in France while the American Revolution was fought in the colonies of England and never sought to completely depose George III, just remove his control of the colonies.
