Manifest Destiny
This week we take a closer look at the histories of Native Americans and Mexicans in what is now the Western United States in our readings and videos. Additionally, we read and see the concept of “Manifest Destiny”, which is what this post will focus on in relation to the actions of the United States White population versus both Native Americans and Mexicans.
In this discussion post please make sure to answer the following 4 prompts:

What stood out to you on a personal level from this week’s readings, videos and images?
