Today we worked in partners and did little "skits" about Manifest Destiny. Our topic for a "takeaway" is on whether or not we think Manifest Destiny was successful. I think it was definitely successful for the United States government. The US government got more land and power this way but in general, this question varies depending on what you define as "success."Americans did end up spreading west so technically that was a "success" but they also ended up killed tons of Native Americans and I would argue: is succeeding by committing wrongs really succeeding? Those are my personal beliefs and when I look at it that way, I'd say that Manifest Destiny wasn't a success.
And now for some tigers! They are my favorite animal!
Until next time!
