It was technology that gave America its ability to spread its wings and cover a continent on the currents of Manifest Destiny, a dominionist and white supremacist conviction that America was God’s chosen country with a divine mandate to spread from “sea to shining sea.” Children still sing these words in songs today. It was not difficult to see why it was so easy for the young nation to convince itself of its deservëd fate: the virgin landscapes, tended for millennia by indigenous Americans, showed none of the scarring and exploitation of the tiny, inhospitable European continent.
