The Philosophy of Manifest Destiny by the
19th Century incorporated not only the rights espoused in the Declaration
of Independance and the Bill of Rights, but also those of the Geographical
Predestination and the Destined Use of the Soil, policies that were all
to become part of the ethos of manifest destiny in relation to Indian Removal.
Geographical predestionation being Andrew Jacksons belief in civilizing
the savage and Jacksonian Democracy, and the Destined Use of the Soil being
the basis for Jefferson's Argrarian Ideal and the need to teach Indians
the ways of farming as opposed to hunting as that it how civilised societies
operated.

Destiny refer to Albert K. Weinburgs text Manifest Destiny A Study of
