In our modern age the concept of manifest destiny may seem primitive and outdated. The idea that any nation is chosen by God and ordained to enact genocides in order to further any cause is antithetical to Christian values and modern social sensibilities. Even if the doctrine itself is no longer consciously enacted, it still has a lingering shadow over the military and international policy of the United States of America.
