How do you think O'Sullivan might have responded to Galatians claims about the true motives of Manifest Destiny?

O'Sullivan would likely have argued that Manifest Destiny was a divine right and a moral imperative for the United States, framing it as a noble mission to spread democracy and civilization. He might have dismissed Galatians' claims as misinterpretations or an oversimplification of a complex historical process, emphasizing the perceived benefits of expansion for both the nation and those who would be influenced by American ideals. O'Sullivan could also have pointed to the economic and strategic advantages of westward expansion as justifications for Manifest Destiny.
