Would it be possible for someone to explain the fact of "popular sovereignty" and "manifest destiny" to me. I looked up some definitions online and i found nothing but confusing words piled together. THANKS
well correct me if i am wrong anyone, but i believe that manifest destiny was just what the people of the 1800s, in America, believed. that they were destined to rule over the entire United states area, from the Atlantic ocean to the pacific. and popular sovereignty is when the people are able to make decisions for themselves in government, or at least have their voice heard in government. this allowed Brigham Young to make the laws in Utah, allowing polygamy.
