Chapter 17 Manifest Destiny and Its Legacy

The Land of Liberty, 1847 This British cartoon reflected the contemptuous view of American culture, politics, and diplomacy that was common in early-nineteenth-century Britain.

Maine Boundary Settlement, 1842

St. Louis in 1846, by Henry Lewis Thousands of pioneers like these pulling away from St. Louis said farewell to civilization as they left the Mississippi River and headed across the untracked plains to Oregon in the 1840s.

Pundt and Koenig’s General Store, Omaha City, Nebraska, 1858 Settlers bound for Colorado and California stopped here for provisions before venturing farther west across the open plains.

Manifest Destiny: A Caricature The spirit of Manifest Destiny swept the nation in the 1840s, and threatened to sweep it to extremes. This cartoon from 1848 lampoons proslavery Democratic presidential candidate Lewis Cass as a veritable war machine, bent on the conquest of territory ranging from New Mexico to Cuba and even Peru.

Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way This romantic tribute to the spirit of Manifest Destiny was commissioned by Congress in 1860 and may still be seen in the Capitol.

The Oregon Controversy, 1846

Fort Vancouver, Oregon Country, ca Fort Vancouver, on the Columbia River near its confluence with the Willamette River, was the economic hub of the Oregon Country during the early years of settlement. Founded as a Hudson’s Bay Company fur-trading outpost, the fort was handed over to the Americans when Britain ceded the Oregon Country to the United States in 1846.

The Landowner and His Foreman, by Julio Michard, 1839 This California ranchero’s way of life was soon to be extinguished when California became part of the United States in 1848 and thousands of American gold-seekers rushed into the state the following year.

Major Campaigns of the Mexican War

War News from Mexico, by Richard Caton Woodville The newfangled telegraph kept the nation closely informed of events in far- off Mexico.

Mission San Gabriel, Founded in 1771

California Indians Dancing at the Mission in San José, by Sykes,1806

Spanish Missions and Presidios

Storming the Fortress of Chapultepec, Mexico, 1847 The American success at Chapultepec contributed heavily to the final victory over Mexico. One American commander lined up several Irish American deserters on a gallows facing the castle and melodramatically dropped the trapdoors beneath them just as the United States flag was raised over the captured battlement. According to legend, the flag was raised by First Lieutenant George Pickett, later immortalized as the leader of “Pickett’s charge” in the Civil War Battle of Gettysburg, 1863.
