Would U. S governor support or oppose Manifast Destiny? Why?

This question depends on a few factors. Southerners desired more land for cotton production and Northerners believed expansion would relieve population pressures in the crowded urban centers of the Northeast.

Some Americans were opposed to manifest destiny because other nations (Mexico & Great Britain) claimed the land and because they felt an expansive nation would be too large to govern. Abolitionists feared new territory would expand slacery.
