Exploring the historical context of westward expansion, the book delves into the transition from the Doctrine of Discovery to Manifest Destiny in the 1840s. It examines the competition among British colonists, English, French, and Spanish powers for control of lands west of the Mississippi. Miller reveals how the United States not only secured territorial dominance but also shaped the legal frameworks that justified their claims over indigenous lands, offering a comprehensive analysis of this pivotal period in American history.
