That's not what Manifest Destiny was about. It was really only about our westward expansion and our "destiny" to "civilize" the continent, subjugate the Indians and displace the Mexicans. We couldn't really justify the rape and pillage we were engaded in on conventional religious grounds so we invented a new deity for the purpose , the Goddess of "American Progress", guiding us ever westward for the good of mankind.
