The origin of American exceptionalism is often traced to a 1900 speech by Sen Albert Beveridge, arguing for annexing the Philippines because God “has marked the American people as his chosen nation to finally lead in the redemption of the world.” https://t.co/nIyr11wk3o — PolitiTweet.org

"American exceptionalism" began as an ideological justification for the US to become an outright colonial power while squaring the annexation of foreign territory with America's early self-image as an opponent of European colonialism. Not as a force for democracy or freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Another common misapprehension is that the ideas of "American exceptionalism" have long been a matter of consensus. In fact it's been bitterly debated since its c1900 origins. It was consensus only for a ~15-year period from about 1984-1999, the so-called unipolar moment. — PolitiTweet.org
