Unkowningly, American colonists took the first step on the path to a Faustian
foreign policy the moment they set out on their “errand into the wilderness”
in the New World. Despite their constant jeremiads about sinfulness and
“incessant and never successful cry for repentance, the Puritans launched themselves
upon the process of Americanization.” Even though the Puritans initially
expressed doubts about territorial expansion because of their fears of encountering
the “profane,” later explorers, immigrants, homesteaders, and fur traders
carried this Americanization process across the continent with largely the same
unshakable and shared belief that their endeavor was blessed by God. In effect,
they turned the jeremiad “doctrine of [God’s] vengeance into a promise of ultimate
success, affirming the world, and despite the world, the inviolability of
the colonial cause.” Americans came to believe that they would achieve their
errand – and ultimately their dream of Manifest Destiny – because they represented
a sanguine force for good |
