In US history, the belief that Americans had
a providential mission to extend both their
territory and their democratic processes
westwards across the continent. The phrase
was coined by journalist John L O'Sullivan in
1845. Reflecting this belief, Texas and
California were shortly afterwards annexed by
the USA. (See Mexican War).
