Document Summary
Americans used a slogan as manifest density to justify the westward expansion. A god given obligation in terms of a national opportunity to support the expansion. They want to spread christianity on the western land and communication is vital for the people as well. On the west, the indians has to move away from the westward expansion. A dangerous and physical labor for the men. All of the civilization is in the west, so they want to establish a civil life on the west. Every time they move and settle, they have to discuss about permitting a labor system on the western expansion. Most of the politician compromise over the debates of enabling a slavery system in order to avoid a conflict. Missouri sought to enter a union, but want to commit as a slave state, which would upset the even- balance of the setting. Northerners don"t want a slave state in a union.
