En la 19a jarcento la teorio de la evidenta destino, en angla Manifest Destiny, estis amplekse konsiderata en Usono laŭ kiu la usonaj setlintoj estis destinita etendiĝi tra la kontinento. Historiistoj ĉefe interkonsentis, ke estas ĉefe tri bazaj temoj ĉe la teorio de la Evidenta Destino:

• La specialaj valoroj de la usona popolo kaj ties institucioj;
• La usona reaĉeto kaj okupo de okcidento kiel bildo de rura Usono;
• Neevitebla destino por plenumi tiu esencan devon.^[1]
