"The Long Road to New Mexico Statehood"

1. “Manifest Destiny” means that American believed that they had the God given right to expand Westerd or to take everything that Spain had claimed.  “Manifest Destiny” had started in the 1780's by Thomas Edison had made an observation that All of Spain's territory of the  North American Region would be controlled by the U.S.. 
2. Not many Presidents didn't want us to have statehood because there was already the slavery conflict , and they didn't want anymore new states to interfer with the either a slavery state or a non-slavery state.
