Gallatin believed that Manifest Destiny was nothing more than greed to control the continent. It was a false name and idea for the true purpose. O'Sullivan saw Manifest Destiny as many in the US did: Progress and the Fate of the US. We were "destined" to control everything and that one should move out of the way of progress or be run over by it.
