ಗುಡ್ಡದ ಮೇಲಿರುವ ಪಟ್ಟಣ

ಗುಡ್ಡದ ಮೇಲಿರುವ ಪಟ್ಟಣ

Phrase from John Winthrop's sermon, "A Model of Christian Charity," in which he challenged his fellow Puritans to build a model, ideal community in America that would serve as an example of how the rest of the world should order its existence. Here was the beginning of the idea of America as a special, indeed exceptional society, therefore worthy of emulation by others. The concept of American exceptionalism has dominated American history and culture down to the present.
