Manifest Destiny can be seen as a journey for opportunity. Expanding markets, promoting industry, increasing the economy, and spreading the American beliefs and religion. However, it can also have negative effects. Such as displacing persons like the Native Americans, destroying natural habitats, as well as causing conflict and death.

Assignment: You are now an artist that has to depict either viewpoint of Manifest Destiny. Get a piece of poster paper or a plain sheet of paper to create your drawing. First decide if you think it was a good thing? or a bad thing? (Use your bubble sheet for inspiration, you will also need to turn this in with the poster!) On the poster you can include what Americans were doing along the way, reasons for expanding, or other conflicts that could occur and who they could be between. Make sure I can tell if you are for or against westward expansion in Manifest Destiny.
