Answer:
The correct answer is B. People who believed in Manifest Destiny were known as expansionists.
Explanation:
Manifest Destiny refers to the political-social movement that advocated imperialism in the United States in the second half of the 19th century.
The movement has its origins in the Democratic Party, but was later boarded by the Republican Party. They believed that fate had predestined the United States to grow into a great power to rival the European empires. The belief in the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race led to a "civilization offensive" overseas and was an argument for American imperialism, which gained influence in the late 19th century, as many American citizens supported expansionism as a foreign policy.
Manifest Destiny has contributed to the outbreak of the Mexican-American War, the Spanish-American War and the relocation of the Indians.
