What role did texas play in manifest destiny

Many Americans believed that Texas - as well as other parts of Mexico - should belong to the USA. They felt that the USA should extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and that any Mexicans or Indians in between should be kicked out to make way for the "rightful" owners. This belief was called "Manifest Destiny." By 1830, the USA had taken Florida from the Spanish and the central part of the nation from the French (via the Louisiana Purchase). Political leaders such as Andrew Jackson officially disowned rebel actions in Texas but covertly encouraged Texas settlers to rebel, giving tacit approval of their deeds.

When analyzing the american landscape at the time, it can be clear that some women did not support the suffrage movement due to the fact that it would impact their current way of life, leading to fewer protections and safeguarding under the us law, and in their family lives.
