    Manifest Destiny…

    That was over by 1850. Nobody from that time is alive today.

    lol Manifest Destiny never ended, American Indians are still denied sovereignty and confined to impoverished reservations

        Day/night cycle theory of imperialism that holds the British were the first and only empire, as they held enough far-flung territories that it was always daytime for them somewhere, so they remained in the “empire” state long enough to capture the title like it’s a big game of king of the hill.
