Which explorer was first to travel to the South American coast?

On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain in an effort to find a western sea route to the rich Spice Islands of Indonesia.

It might've been Christopher Columbus but I know it's one of the two, sorry for making this hard for you!

no statements but ok.

the statement that best describes the idea of manifest destiny that was used in the 19th century would be that "it was fate that the united states would continue to  expand westward," since people thought the us was "destined" to do so.
