John O'Sullivan, editor of the New York Democratic Review, was the first person to publicly coin the phrase "Manifest Destiny."He writes in 1845:
...
O'Sullivan and the others believed that whites must create a great empire in the Northern Hemisphere (i.e. Europe and North America) and dominate the Southern Hemisphere through colonies in order to ensure their survival.
