Argument Against Manifest Destiny
Manifest Destiny - the 19th-century doctrine or belief that the expansion of the US throughout the American continents was both justified and inevitable.
One of the causes of the War of 1812 may have been an American desire to annex British Canada in order to stop the Indian raids into the Midwest take Britain from North America, and gain more land. The American victories at the Battle of Lake Erie and the Battle of the Thames in 1813 ended the Indian killings and removed one of the reasons for annexation. The American failure to occupy any significant part of Canada prevented them from annexing it for the second reason, which was largely ended by the Era of Good Feelings that started after the war between Britain and the United States.
