Interest brings understanding as I can provide the information but you need to apply it. That you read it shows me people want to understand and I've seen precious little of that in an inordinately long time. (Blog: What Mexico Looked Like Before Manifest Destiny)
The interest probably raises an eyebrow for the Cadillac Man as it has been his academic career throughout his life to study American history at microscopic depth. Seeing any interest for it in a public which typically does not even remember the last political administration is an extraordinary turn. What it means to see this is unknown but perhaps the sleeper has awakened ... finally.
Manifest Destiny is currently the most extreme example of American exceptionalism as they not only believed they had the right to take all of America for themselves as they also believed it was their destiny. Inasmuch as you hear of American exceptionalism even today, it shows not only that Manifest Destiny is still regarded as a good thing to have done. Moreover, it shows Manifest Destiny continues to this day. (WIKI: Manifest Destiny)
While it's taken for granted all Americans support the idea of American exceptionalism but some of the Americans in whom America takes the most pride were ardently opposed to the policy. Among them were Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S Grant, and others.
It's Manifest Destiny that gives the cloak of validity to American interference in China's sovereign acts in the China Sea. It makes valid interference in the sovereign acts of the Russian state. It makes valid dropping drone bombs on any country in the world. Never in its history of well over 150 years has Manifest Destiny ever brought peace to anything.
