The Chosen Nation is a historical book written by Irwin St. John Tucker in 1919. The book explores the concept of American exceptionalism and the belief that the United States is a chosen nation with a divine mission to spread democracy and freedom around the world. Tucker examines the history of this idea, from the Puritan settlers who saw America as a city upon a hill to the Manifest Destiny movement of the 19th century. He also discusses the role of religion in shaping this belief, particularly Protestant Christianity. The book analyzes how this idea has influenced American foreign policy and the country's interactions with other nations. Tucker argues that while American exceptionalism has been a powerful force in shaping the nation's identity, it has also led to a sense of arrogance and a lack of understanding of other cultures. The Chosen Nation is a thought-provoking exploration of a key aspect of American history and identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
