RE: Did Lincoln believe in "Manifest Destiny?"
I would think that Lincoln's opposition to the spreading of slavery would speak to his rejection of the idea of manifest destiny. So much of the political wrangling that was occurring in Lincoln's day had to do with which states/territories would be slave permitting.
