“The United States became a nation in quest of itself… The new nation was to be not a citadel but a laboratory… More than any other modern people, we have been free of the curse of ideology, free to combine the nations, free to rise above chauvinism, free to take our clues from the delightful, unexplored, uncontested world around us… A raw continent made us flexible and responsive and we remain the worlds laboratory binding together peoples from everywhere by opportunities rather than ideologies”
