Coining the Phrase
In 1845, a democratic leader and influential editor by the name of John L. O'Sullivan gave the movement its name. He wrote: ".... the right of our manifest destiny to over spread and to possess the whole of the continent which Providence has given us for the development of the great experiment of liberty and federaltive development of self government entrusted to us. It is right such as that of the tree to the space of air and the earth suitable for the full expansion of its principle and destiny of growth."
