— W. E. Gladstone

You must note that the US Constitution is heavily based off of the British Constitution, with a few tweaks (for example, allowing slavery, which was later overturned after the American Civil War). Gladstone believed that the British Constitution was well-made and organized, and that, because most of the US Constitution was based off of it, that the US constitution would also be good.

— Elbridge Gerry

Gerry, on the other hand, believed that it would cause a Civil War (which did occur during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. In this context, we must know that while the Southern Colonies wanted slavery, most Northern Colonies did not believe that slavery was needed. This argument, as well as future expansions both territorial and belief, led to the American Civil War. Gerry essentially believed that the U.S. Constitution should not be based off of Britain's constitution, and that he did not support the outcome of the Convention.

Could someone please help me with these questions about Manifest Destiny I beg

notsponge [240]

Okay: 1: Manifest Destiny was the belief by many Americans that it was God’s Will that they spread the continent and teach their culture,religion, etc.
2: The impact of Manifest Destiny led to the US trying to expand west, this would lead to the Mexican-American War and Mexican Cession.
3: it was more of a good thing for the US, if they expanded west, they have both borders, they have more resources, and they would have more land for slavery to spread.
4: I guess that’s your opinion
5: 2 pros: Allows the US to secure their borders, Allows the US to gain more territory and gain the resources, Cons: It led to many Native Americans being killed and their land being took, it further led to sectionalism in the US. It’s impacts would eventually lead to a war between Mexico and the US, it also further divides the US because Polk, wanted the land for slavery to spread however many US people did not want that to happen.
