Excerpt from The Progress of American Ideals: The Weil Lectures; Delivered in 1920 at the University of North Carolina
The progress of the American people in the brief period of their existence on this continent marks one of the most remarkable national achievements of history. The natural wealth and resources of the country are, in many respects, without parallel but this of itself could not account for such progress. That it supplied a stimulant to greater effort and greater accomplishment cannot be doubted, but the men who made America their home unquestionably developed within themselves a spirit which is distinctive; - a spirit which has been transmitted from generation to generation, and caught up by the millions who have come to us from other nations, ever spurring them on to greater and greater achievement. It is that spirit which we call Americanism. Under its inspiration liberty was given a new meaning, and government to secure it a new form; social relations and conditions were given a new status; and finally industry and commerce were developed to enormous proportions.
