Manifest Destiny was the belief that the U. S. settlers had a sort of "right" to settle in America and to defend their land there.

both of these events had to do with the expansion of the US territory. which is one way that Manifest Destiny is realized (the war with Mexico was over Mexico's acceptance of Texas as a part of the US).
