I got up and was overjoyed by the fact that I was not at Harvard, but at tavern I went up to man and asked him about the current status of country and he replied "Most of us are moving west, to lands we stole from Mexico to pursue a new life" I realized that this meant Manifest Destiny was in progress. Manifest Destiny was idea that it was the God given right of the United States to expand to the West from the East. Being a president I never approved of Manifest Destiny because it was equivalent to stealing chocolate from a kid, America never earned these lands and they were only given by force not by mutual consent. I decided to get drunk and passed out after my 8th glass only to await my next stop in American history.
