The Beginning of The Manifest Destiny
The beginning of this historical event is when Thomas Jefferson takes action in the Louisiana Purchase, the first event in American history in which it shows America expanding westwards. -

The Mexican-American
America gets into conflict with Mexico because they had a debate on how much they would bid on Texas, and when the Americans won, they also proclaimed land from other places which are now modern US states such as California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and other various places. -
The California Gold Rush
When the US claims California, they continue to move the Native Americans elsewhere so they could install more settlements in the new state, but when they adjust, they see that there's a lot of gold in California and so a lot of people begin to heavily populate the state to find gold and become rich Californians. -
The Transcontinental Railroad
The American railroad in which helps its citizens from state to state finally becomes prominent due to its upgrade of being able to move to westwards states and it helps many of the Americans who have been living the east to move and make settlements in the west, which leaves it to populate the rest of the US. -
The End of The Manifest Destiny
This historical event comes to an end when the US government announces that they have explored and expanded into the west far enough. Though some theorists could infer that this ideology could still be applicable today.
