Question

How did Manifest Destiny deepen divisions among U.S. citizens?

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) by igniting debate over the expansion over slavery.

The Manifested Destiny deepened divisions among US citizens by igniting debate over the expansion over slavery.

For one reason or the other, American citizens have been divided through US history. The debate over slavery was a difficult issue that could not be resolved after the Civil War and after the loss of so many lives. The government tried to manage the situation with the creation of acts such as the Missouri Compromise, but the differences between people in the South and the North were enormous regarding slavery. Slavery was an important part of the economy for the Confederated States. So the inevitable happened, an armed confrontation between the Union Army and the Confederated Army. So yes, the Manifested Destiny deepened divisions among US citizens by igniting debate over the expansion over slavery.
