Nationalistic ideas grew and blossomed with the Declaration of Independence, American Revolution, and the establishment of the United States as a separate entity from Great Britain. Political parties developed: the Jeffersonian Republicans that supported a strict interpretation of the Constitution, and the Federalists that supported a loose interpretation of the Constitution. In 1801, the importation of African slaves became illegal. The Transportation Revolution led to the growth of industries, which opened job opportunities. New immigrant groups began to come to the Unites States, including the Irish and Germans. Manifest Destiny, a social philosophy that put forth that God had ordained internal migration, increased westward migration in the U.S. Native Americans continued to be removed from their lands as a result of Manifest Destiny, which would factor into the Mexican-American War. Internal migration to the South and Southwest increased significantly, because of the location of plantations with labor-intensive cash crops
