SmithTuscaloosa University of Alabama Pressc19971 online resource (256 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-8173-0880-6 Includes bibliographical references (p. 223-234) and index."A special kind of state making" : Jeffersonian manifest destiny -- "To conquer without war" : the philosophy of Jeffersonian expansion -- Followers of the green flag : revolution in the Texas borderlands -- The first Spanish-American War : patriot efforts to annex Florida -- "Pacified by paternal solitude" : Indian wars as an expansionist movement -- Leftover of war : Negro fort -- "A set of desperate and bloody dogs" : the acquisition of Amelia Island -- Destiny becomes manifest : Andrew Jackson invades Florida -- "Taking advantage of propitious circumstances" : the struggle for Texas -- A Jeffersonian leviathan : manifest destiny succeeds.This compelling narrative demonstrates the passionate interest the Jeffersonian presidents had in wresting land from less powerful foes and expanding Jefferson''s ""empire of liberty."" The first two decades of the 19th century found many Americans eager to move away from the crowded eastern seaboard and into new areas where their goals of landownership might be realized. Such movement was encouraged by Presidents Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe- collectively known as the Jeffersonians- who believed that the country''s destiny was to have total control over the entire North American continent.FilibustersManifest DestinyTexasHistory1810-1821FloridaHistorySpanish colony, 1784-1821United StatesTerritorial expansionGulf Coast (U.S.)HistoryFilibusters.Manifest Destiny.976.03976/.03Owsley Frank LawrenceJr.,1928-2013.1820285Smith Gene Allen1963-1820286MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910969424903321Filibusters and expansionists4382139UNINA
