Origin of American Exceptionalism
John Winthrop was a puritan minister in early American history . He gave a speech on a boat called a Model of Christian Charity. He argues that America is destined to be great and a model for all other nations to be great. America will be a nation that has more love and acceptance of different types of people than any other nation. American Exceptionalism was furthered when Manifest Destiny arose. America is such a great nation it deserves to spread through the continent because America is better than everybody else. We thought God was telling us to populate from coast to coast which benefited us in the end. The actual term “American exceptionalism” was originally coined by German Marxists who wished to explain why the US seemed to have by-passed the rise of socialism and Marxism.
