Description
-
"The Great Nation of Futurity" is a segment within the sixth volume of The United States Democratic Review. It is one of the first publications to promote an idea that would come to be known as Manifest Destiny: the idea that the United States is entitled to all land between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and that it has a duty to bring "civilization" to the lands.
An exerpt from page 427:
"The far-reaching, the boundless future will be the era of American greatness. In its magnificent domain of space and time, the nation of many nations is destined to manifest; to mankind the excellence of divine principles; to establish on earth the noblest temple ever dedicated to the worship of the Most High—the Sacred and the True."
