Download or read book The Idea of Progress in the Gospel of Wealth in the End of the Nineteenth Century written by Margaret-Patricia McCarran and published by . This book was released on 1946 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'The Idea of Progress in America, 1815-1865' was published in 1944. It traces the American form of the idea from its European background, and in its contacts with foreign though through the years between the second War of Independence and the Civil War, ending where it is proposed this study shall begin with Charles Sumner and Caleb Sprague Henry. However, this study proposes finding an anchorage for the history of the idea before the war in the writings of two persons cited earlier in Mr. Ekirch's chronological scheme, two who by 1860 were no longer dissident evangelical preachers but leading writers in the Catholic press. This essay will also overlap Ekirch's by the choice of some of the later writings of, e.g., Emerson, McCosh, and Bancroft. The benefits of division of labor are hard by using the compact volume of Frederick John Teggart who has fairly gleaned the elucidation of the idea out of the works of the great thinkers who have written upon it, in his 'The Idea of Progress.'"--Chapter I, l.1.

Download or read book The American Idea of England 1776 1840 written by Jennifer Clark and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing that American colonists who declared their independence in 1776 remained tied to England by both habit and inclination, Jennifer Clark traces the new Americans' struggle to come to terms with their loss of identity as British, and particularly English, citizens. Americans' attempts to negotiate the new Anglo-American relationship are revealed in letters, newspaper accounts, travel reports, essays, song lyrics, short stories and novels, which Clark suggests show them repositioning themselves in a transatlantic context newly defined by political revolution. Chapters examine political writing as a means for Americans to explore the Anglo-American relationship, the appropriation of John Bull by American writers, the challenge the War of 1812 posed to the reconstructed Anglo-American relationship, the Paper War between American and English authors that began around the time of the War of 1812, accounts by Americans lured to England as a place of poetry, story and history, and the work of American writers who dissected the Anglo-American relationship in their fiction. Carefully contextualised historically, Clark's persuasive study shows that any attempt to examine what it meant to be American in the New Nation, and immediately beyond, must be situated within the context of the Anglo-American relationship.

Download or read book Manifest Destiny written by Anders Stephanson and published by Hill and Wang. This book was released on 1996-01-31 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When John O'Sullivan wrote in 1845, "...the right of our manifest destiny to overspread and to possess the whole of the continent which Providence has given us for the development of Liberty and federated self-government entrusted to us", he coined a phrase that aptly describes how Americans from colonial days and into the twentieth century perceived their privileged role. Anders Stephanson examines the consequences of this idea over more than three hundred years of history, as Manifest Destiny drove the westward settlement to the Pacific, defining the stubborn belief in the superiority of white people and denigrating Native Americans and other people of color. He considers it a component in Woodrow Wilson's campaign "to make the world safe for democracy" and a strong factor in Ronald Reagan's administration.
