Could Manifest Destiny be achieved without annexing Texas? Why do you think this?

Manifest Destiny was an expansionist political stance carried out in the United States during the 1800s, through which the nation's expansion from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was urged. Thus, it was sought that the United States became a bioceanic nation, controlling trade on both sides of the continent.

Therefore, Manifest Destiny could have equally been fulfilled without annexing Texas, since this state does not border either ocean but the Gulf of Mexico.

the crusades are one of the most significant events in the history of europe and the middle east.   they were a series of religious wars carried out by christian crusaders from europe during the timeframe of the middle ages.   beginning in 1095 ce, the crusades saw european knights and noblemen travel to the middle east in an attempt to capture the holy land away from muslim people that had controlled the region for the previous centuries.   the term crusade means ‘cross’.   therefore, the europeans that became crusaders viewed themselves as ‘taking up the cross’.   in fact, many of the crusaders wore crosses on their clothing and armor as they made their pilgrimage to the holy land.
