During the 1850s the doctrine of Manifest Destiny sanctioned a popular movement in which adventurers sought to enlarge the US's boundaries by military incursions into Latin America. Brown portrays the leaders of the expeditions and describes the filibuster movement as a part of larger affairs such as the slavery issue, the Monroe Doctrine, and the assertion by the US of its claim to national greatness.
