Answer:
B. the United States had a right to control all of North America.
Explanation:
Northeastern cities were under pressure from immigration, and municipal and state politics had became ruthlessly aristocratic. Early in the 19th century, despite a rapidly expanding urban working-class population, state laws often only permitted landowners to vote, highlighting the stark stratification of economic groups at the time.
It was an alluring ideal to think that an average individual, even a poor immigrant, might leave the filth and the repressive politics behind and establish a farm out on the prairie.
Manifest Destiny as a political theory was pragmatic. Mass migrations were observed by certain pundits, politicians, and businesspeople, who then interpreted them in ways that favored their own interests. Although there was a lot of criticism on moral, ethical, and legal reasons, Manifest Destiny is remembered far more clearly than the opposition to it because the country kept expanding.
People did not, however, migrate to the West in order to advance a national philosophy; rather, they did so because they could and were dissatisfied with their prospects on the East coast. Because the settlements were displacing tribes that were frequently viewed as hostile and because ignoring them would have simply resulted in independent nations balkanizing the continent instead of the United States expanding, the US government occasionally chose to support and exploit the phenomenon in order to gain new territory.
