2. So he actually used the term "manifest destiny"?

Figures he'd evoke a term associated with American Genocide of the indigenous population of North America.

7. The meaning of it- territorial expansion

[Wiz Imp]

8. I know what it means. I also know it has come to be associated with the genocide

Of native Americans. How do think they accomplished that territorial expansion? By killing everything and everyone in their path.

In this day and age especially it should not be viewed as a positive term

[JCMach1]

9. The genocide is implied by renaming Denali

Erasure of the Other. So yes, all the pieces are there.
