HIST 017 American Exceptionalism and American Democracy
Introduction:
When the Puritans established their colony in Massachusetts, they intended their settlements to be “a city upon a hill” for those back in England to emulate. In the process, the Puritans created the most egalitarian society and planted the seeds for American democracy. The concept of American exceptionalism — America as an exceptional country — uniquely different from others– has always been part of the American experience from the time of the Puritans to the present day, and Americans take great pride in proclaiming that heritage to the rest of the world. The concept of American exceptionalism is what has propelled America from being the backwoods of European society in 1776 to become the most powerful and wealthiest nation mankind has ever seen.
But some people are skeptical of this notion because they argue American exceptionalism has blinded us from reality and puts us in danger. President Obama has face criticism for downplaying the notion of American exceptionalism and his opposition sees this as weak leadership that has caused the decline of America. In response to the conservatives’ criticism of “being anti-patriotic,” there is now an effort to revamp the concept of “American exceptionalism” in the AP History curriculum (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to highlight the achievements of America and doing so will “make America great again!”
