The textbook detailed the effort of English Puritans and Pilgrims to establish C

    The textbook detailed the effort of English Puritans and Pilgrims to establish Christian commonwealths in New England, which they hoped might serve as model societies. Many historians have argued that the ongoing tendency of Americans to view the USA as a nation that has a special calling to serve as an example for the rest of humanity is rooted in the Puritans and this missionary idealism. Discuss whether this American “sense of mission” is still alive and debate its positive and negative consequences for the USA and the world. Begin by reading and analyzing John Winthrop’s sermon, “A Model of Christian Charity” (Links to an external site.) and then read the inaugural address of at least one recent president from Reagan to Obama to see whether and to what purpose any of Winthrop’s themes are sounded. You might also Google the phrase “city on a hill” to find some recent ways in which this language has been used.
