okay. so i'm in APUSH (AP U.S. History) and we have a DBQ (Document Based Question) Exam tomorrow. it's a practice test and the question has been given to us in advance. the whole point of it is is to come up with a reasonable thesis that answers this question:
To what extent was the new "Manifest Destiny" of the 1890s and early 1900s a continuation of the old "Manifest Destiny" of the 1840s?
i'm hoping that if there's any good english students or something to help me out with my thesis :]
here's my thesis:
As cultures with different religoins and customs were diffused into American society, public religious strength weakened. People's views of Manifest Destiny changed radically, from believing to have been "destined" to expand across the nation to a slightly more materialistic, self-induced need to conquer the world.
thank you.

That's fairly good and very specific. I have no idea what Manifest destiny means but you explain it in a way that a noob would understand. I hope you didn't copy it right from your essay. You spelled religion wrong.
