The American dream during the 1800s was to form an empire stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, something a New York journalist John L. O'Sullivan referred to as the nation's manifest destiny. His writing was not unfounded as in 1823 President James Monroe presented his Monroe Doctrine to the American people and to the world, claiming the entirety of the western hemisphere as the area under American influence. It was only a matter of time before dreams of expansion would come to fruition.
