Quotes by Walter A. McDougall (?)

“America's civilization perturbs the trajectories of all other civilizations just by existing.”
― Walter A. McDougall, Freedom Just Around the Corner: A New American History: 1585-1828 – A Powerful Exploration of the Irrepressible Spirit and Unique National Character

“Washington, Franklin, Madison, Hamilton, Adams, and Jefferson had imagined the American experiment coming to all sorts of bad ends. They never imagined the Federal City overrun by frontiersmen who cared nothing for history and loved only cheap land and credit, whiskey, tobacco, guns, fast women, fast horses, and Jesus. Not necessarily in that order.”
― Walter A. McDougall, Freedom Just Around the Corner: A New American History: 1585-1828 – A Powerful Exploration of the Irrepressible Spirit and Unique National Character
