Answer:

Answer Below:

While Andrew Jackson was an expansionist and his Indian Removal Act was incredibly influential in fulfilling the Manifest Destiny, it was his protege, Democratic president James K. Polk, who built his campaign around this idea of Manifest Destiny. Not only was Polk concerned over acquiring the Oregon territory (his camapaign slogan "54'40 or fight" made it clear that he was a proponent of Manifest Destiny), but he was also crucial in acquiring Texas, igniting an easily-won war with Mexico that gave the United States not only Texas with their preferred borders, but also much more territory in the Southwest, including Arizona and California. By 1849, around the same time as Polk's death, the Manifest Destiny was near complete and the United States of America controlled land from sea to shining sea.

based on the excerpt, what was Bill Clinton's opinion of the state of affairs in the United States when he was elected president
rodikova [14]
Bill Clinton was the first President from the Democratic party in more than a decade and the first President to take office since the Collapse of the Soviet Union.

In this first speech, he mentioned how the cold-war had ended and that Americans can look forward to a bright future.

However, he also mentioned how the government still has a lot of work to do, not just internationally but domestically.

His overall message was of hope and promise. He was the first President of the Sole Super Power of the World and he believed America was in the perfect position to take up global leadership.
