Manifest Destiny and a Board Game

Welcome! In this episode of History & Game, we travel to a far-off, distant land filled with Europeans, Mexicans, and Natives. Oh my! During the 1800s, the American West represented a place of unending possibilities. Manifest Destiny created the ideology that Americans possessed a divine and God-given right and duty to conquer, beat into submission, tame, and settle the American West. Despite violent Mexican gangs, savage Native tribes, rampant corruption, death, power, and absolute lawlessness, Americans flooded western lands - a terrifying place where life and death can turn on a dime.
