History

UNO [17]3 years ago

President Grover Cleveland was the only US President to serve in two non-consecutive terms (From 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897). During his presidency, he vetoed a bill who proposed granting pensions to Civil War Union veterans, as well as the Dependent Pension Bill who would grant a pension to anyone serving in the military for more than 90 days. He argued that many claims would be fraudulent. 

President Cleveland assumed office during a critical time for the country, as it was passing through a severe economic depression. These decisions of vetoing pensions followed his policy of austerity.

Many Americans in the 19th Century believed in “Manifest Destiny.” Which of the following is true description of this concept?
lara31 [8.8K]
This question is tough to answer, since perceptions of Manifest Destiny changed radically across the 19th century.

But many American citizens, politicians, and thinkers genuinely believed in the tenets of Manifest Destiny, so it's not fair to say that these Americans were simply manufacturing a false excuse for westward expansion. So we can exclude C.

It's also true that many other Americans (especially Southern Democrats) used the idea of Manifest Destiny to justify invading Mexico in the 1840s. Bu these Southerners were more interested in adding new slaveholding states to the Union than they were with fending off a potential enemy in Mexico (which was a vastly weaker military power).

And while much of America throughout the 19th century was indeed Protestant, and that most of the residents of Mexican territories were Catholic, Manifest Destiny was less interested in dismantling Catholic influence than it was in advancing its own expansionist, Protestant interests. 

You'll want to double-check with your textbook to be sure about the context of this question, but the best answer from this angle seems to be B, since those Americans who did believe in Manifest Destiny certainly believed that westward advancement was not only obvious but sanctioned by God.
