“America is destined for better deeds...We have no interest in the scenes of antiquity, only as lessons of avoidance of nearly all their examples. The expansive future is our arena, and for our history. We are entering on its untrodden space, with the truths of God in our minds, beneficent objects in our hearts, and with a clear conscience unsullied by the past. We are the nation of human progress, and who will, what can, set limits to our onward march? Providence is with us, and no earthly power can. We point to the everlasting truth on the first page of our national declaration, and we proclaim to the millions of other lands, that "the gates of hell" -- the powers of aristocracy and monarchy -- "shall not prevail against it..." Who, then, can doubt that our country is destined to be the great nation of futurity?”
John L. O'Sullivan, Manifest Destiny, 1839

Answer these questions on a sheet of paper:
• Do you believe that countries (as well as people) can have a destiny? Are some places pre-determined to be powerful, weak, rich, or poor?
• If you do not believe in destiny, what do you think does cause a country to be powerful, weak, rich or poor? How can a country change from one state to another?
