Answer:

ANSWER IS FROM ANSWER ON ANOTHER BRAINLY QUESTION ASKING THE SAME THING!!!

Walt Whitman supported the Mexican-American War. He justified his support of the war with the concept of manifest destiny. This was the idea that the USA was destined to stretch from coast to coast on the North American continent. Dominated by Anglo-Saxons, the USA had a mission to spread civilization and institutions across the American continent. Whitman believed that it was America's duty to rid Mexico off its misery, inefficiency, her burlesque against freedom and superstition.

Curiously, such racist beliefs were expressed by the American poet Walt Whitman. Of Manifest Destiny, Whitman wrote: “What has miserable, inefficient Mexico—with her superstition, her actual tyranny by the few over the many—what has she to do with the great mission of peopling the new world with a noble race? Be it ours, to achieve that mission!” Clearly, Whitman considered himself, as a white American, better than the Mexicans. Clearly, he believed in America’s right to conquer them. Whitman’s ideas on Manifest Destiny likely surprised his readers because they are different from the ideas in most of his work. However, perhaps this contradiction reflects a more general attitude of the times.

To which area did the Emancipation Proclamation apply?
MatroZZZ [7]
The Proclamation applied in the ten states that were still in rebellion in 1863, and thus did not cover the nearly 500,000 slaves in the slave-holding border states (Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland or Delaware) that had not seceded. Those slaves were freed by later separate state and federal actions.

How and why did the goals of United States foreign policy change from the end of the First World War (1918) to the end of the Ko
Dimas [21]
America's foreign policy goals changed for several different reasons. One of the reasons why it changed were because of new threats to democracy. For example, World War II (1939-1945) brought in the reign of dictators all over Europe. Along with this, the US was attacked by the Japanese Empire at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. These different factors caused America to get involved with World War II to help the allied powers.

After World War II, the US wanted to stop the spread of communism. This policy, known as containment, reflected America's fear of the growing power of the Soviet Union (a communist superpower at this time). To stop communism from spreading, the US got involved in foreign conflicts like the Korean War. The US was trying to stop communism from spreading into South Korea.
