Ref Link.... The term "Manifest Destiny" was coined by Democratic Party political writer John O'Sullivan in a 1845 Democratic Review journal article supporting the annexation of Texas. Those who embraced the idea of Manifest Destiny – initially Democrats, but eventually a significant number of Republicans as well – believed that the United States was destined to build a nation that would reach from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This proposed expansion required encroaching on land that then belonged to Native American tribes, England, Mexico and Spain.
