Today in class we are going to work together to find more evidence to support that statement. More particularly, we are going to assert the following thesis: > // The belief in the idea of "Manifest Destiny" was the single most important factor underlying U.S. foreign policy decisions and American expansion. // And we will support that thesis with several pieces of evidence from primary and secondary sources. First is [|John L. O'Sullivan on Manifest Destiny]. We'll //text, context, and subtext// this document. Also we'll consider the painting at right called "American Progress".
 * What We Did In Class**
