Read the quote, then answer the questions below.

Our national birth (and the Declaration of Independence) was the beginning of a new history, which separates us from the past and connects us only with the future. We are the nation of progress, of individual freedom, of universal enfranchisement. Our future history will be to establish on earth the moral dignity and salvation of man --the undeniable truth and goodness of God.
America has been chosen for this mission among all the nations of the world, which are shut out from the lifegiving light of truth. Her high example shall put an end to the tyranny of kings, and carry the happy news of peace and good will to millions who now endure an existence hardly better than that of beasts of the field. Who, then, can doubt that our country is destined to be the great nation of the future?

John O’Sullivan, "The Great Nation of Futurity," 1839
