Manifest Destiny was the belief that the United States was destined to expand across the North American continent. This expansionist ideology made Mexico nervous as the U.S. expansion often led to territorial disputes. For example, the U.S. - Mexican War (1846 - 1848) was a result of such expansionist tendencies under the guise of Manifest Destiny. Canada was a British colony at the time and while there were some border tensions, Mexico was more directly affected by U.S. territorial ambitions in the context of Manifest Destiny. Quebec is a province of Canada, not an independent country.
